Weekly Update At Outdoors Ireland

Fabulous weather! Warm, dry, sunshine, mountains of grey cloud drifting above the grey Kerry mountains, good wetsuit drying and no midges. Orange skies at dawn.

Juggling vehicle/trailer logistics as one jeep is in the garage for a few days. Seems to happen every summer.

Potatoes and garlic in the veg boxes nearly ready for harvesting.

Lots of kayaking happening including our sunset trips. Also forest/mountain biking and rock climbing happening.

Entire team of guides, minus Nathan, left Kerry this morning at 5am to guide a large group of scouts on Lugnaquillia in Wicklow.

Aug Bank Holiday looking busy thankfully. This weekend can often typically be really quiet for some reason. Plenty available with more details here: http://www.outdoorsireland.com/upcomingplaces.php

That's all for now, Nathan
