Couples Glamping

Hiking Holidays
Maybe you’ve had enough relaxing and are craving more of an adventurous kind of break.
Alltrails.com can help you find the hike, bike ride or trail run to suit you in whatever location and level suits you best. It can also recommend child and dog friendly trails. If you find a trail you like you can save it for future adventures
Geocaching
Another outdoor adventure that can be done with Social Distancing in mind is Geocaching. Geocaching is like a treasure hunt only the clues are online. Users go out and find small capsules, called “Geocaches” or “Caches” for short. These Geocaches are hidden by other users.
Irish Tech.ie have an excellent beginners guide that takes you through the rules and shows the apps you can download to your phone to get you started searching for your treasure. The idea is you download the app and search for Geocaches in your area. Take a pen with you and once you have found the Geocache you sign and date the page inside and replace it for the next Geocacher to find. Some Caches are larger, containing some surprises inside, you are welcome to take one, but you should replace it with something else. Don’t spoil the fun!
Whatever your choice, our beautiful Emerald Isle has it all, ensuring we continue to stay safe and keep up our Social Distancing.
