PRESS RELEASE
Pay What You Like for Outdoor Adventure in Kerry
16th August 2010
Outdoors Ireland is offering the chance for people to pay what they like for a range of exciting outdoor activities this August. The adventure company, based in Killarney, wants to thank its loyal customers, and offer beginners the opportunity to experience the fun, adrenaline or relaxation of kayaking, hill walking and rock climbing.
For the entire week, from Monday 23rd to Sunday 29th August, people of all ages and abilities can take part in any of Outdoors Ireland’s scheduled activities, paying what they like. Nathan Kingerlee, the outfit’s manager, says he wants to show why adventure sports are the way to go for people feeling the pinch in the recession. “The past year or so has been a very exciting time for us” Kingerlee says. “More and more people are turning to the outdoors for fun, healthy and relatively inexpensive pastimes. This can only be good for us as a nation, and if we can help with getting people started, we’re delighted to do so.”
Irish people are taking to the hills, rivers and lakes in greater numbers than ever. Many have foregone their expensive gym membership for a pair of hiking boots; others are enticed by Fáilte Ireland’s invitation to holiday at home, and sample our country’s hidden adventure playgrounds. They are finding that a small investment in the right gear and training gives a lifetime of simple, healthy pleasure. “Outdoor sports are win-win”, enthuses Kingerlee. “They are great craic, good for you in every way, and a brilliant way to meet new people!”
Outdoors Ireland, set up in 2006, has grown steadily into one of Ireland’s leading providers of outdoor skills training, adventure breaks and team building events. Combining a strong dedication to professional standards and fine detail, with a contagious sense of enthusiasm and fun, the company has developed a loyal following. Outdoors Ireland’s standards are reflected in becoming the country’s only adventure company to achieve Gold in the Green Tourism Business Scheme, an environmental award backed by Fáilte Ireland.
Kingerlee fully appreciates his fortune in growing during a recession, and hopes to show that a tighter budget is no reason not to have fun. “Thankfully our growth has meant that we haven’t had to drop our prices in the recession, but we’d like to give something back. This is our way of thanking those who have helped get us to where we are, and to offer beginners the chance to experience the joy and value of outdoor sports; just because there’s a recession on, shouldn’t mean you can’t go on holidays!”
