Outdoor activities group for 20's-30's - Cork/Munster - anyone?

coolmoose

Following on from posting this under the hiking group for younger people thread, I've decided to post it seperately to gauge interest. I was only thinking about this the other day whilst going up Galtymore. I'm considering setting up some kind of group, based in Cork/Munster for say 20's-30's to do stuff outdoorsy...not just hiking...

• Hillwalking
• Mountaineering
• Camping
• Kayaking
• Surfing
• Scuba diving
• Cycling
• Photography
• Other water based sports/activities
• Fishing

etc etc... I'm personally up for trying most things, it's getting a few people together to do it is the problem!

Would anybody be interested in something like this? What other activities could we add to the list? Looking forward to hearing some ideas and hopefully some interest!

smallgarden

i think its really good idea but unfortunately im in dublin so no use to you but hope it goes well

novarapid

coolmoose

You should post this in the cork forum op I'd say you'd find a few takers.

clarelad

well i answered your question...and can't help. If you started a new thread with your question people who may be able to help you might answer - they mightn't be looking at this thread as it's to do with Cork/Munster.

And threadjacking isn't "charming" either. Grow up.

CRenegade

Sounds like a good idea, im not in that part of the country though. You might want to post it on the cork surf forum also: http://www.corksurf.com/

coolmoose

right we have about 20 interested between boards and real-life ( ), so im thinking either caving/dinner/pub or a hillwalk/dinner/pub thing in 2-3 weeks time, weather permitting?

anyone have contacts for caving lessons in clare?

i'm heading down the reeks myself next week anyway if anyone is interested in tagging along (prob carrauntohill and caher).

I suggest you read the forum charter. Also, hijacking threads is a no-no on boards.ie, if you have a question then start a new thread. And be polite.

Pablo_

Sorry to get in late, I'm in Clare area, don't know any caving experts so i'm just another number if thats ok ...

clarelad

hi,any update guys?

coolmoose

swamped under with work at the mo, hoping to organise something v soon!

alanh82

Hi there,

I'd be well up for something like this as well if ye get something going. I'm based in Cork.

Nidot

Hey Gang,

Keep me in mind if you're planning anything, would love to do more hillwalking, hiking stuff in general.

Myself and a buddy are doing this next weekend if anyone's interested:

http://www.mudrun.ie/

Looks like a good laugh and sure it's something different aswell.

novarapid

any updates or ideas in the pipeline?

is there anyone else free mid week to do something?

coolmoose

I have loads of ideas and no free time at the moment! Don't let that stop ye from organising something! I will definitely get around to arranging something soon...promise!

tuxy

Hey guy's, I'm' also very interested in this. I live in North Tipp and have only recently started hilwalking(Did Galtymore, Lugnaquilla and a few others). Currently unemployed so would have the time if you need help organising things.
Maybe we could startup a facebook group.

MushGSXR

Id be interested in this too

dmcc1987

theirs loads of things to do down in kenmare co.kerry at staroutdoors waterskiing, wakeboarding,tubing,kayaking, canoeing, sailing, hillwalking, archery, raft building and loads of other stuff

coolmoose

^ stop with the spam willya!

tuxy

So guys, do you want to do something either this weekend or next weekend? We could start with something simple, I know the weather is far from ideal at the moment.
I'd like to reach the peak of Galtymore again but if anyone has other ideas I would be up for it.

clarelad

how many could we round up for next wknd?

I'm available for next weekend anyway. Just once I don't have to drive more than 100km to get to whatever activity it might be.

tuxy

I think we need to re-evaluate this. Is anyone still interested?

coolmoose

i'm still adamant i'm going to organise something, just with work at the moment not a chance!

Takeshi_Kovacs

Maybe someone else who is interested, but not as busy as coolmoose, can take the reins for a bit and organise something (until Coolmoose has more freetime). There is surely a good few people on here still interested in this

clarelad

id like to but wouldnt know where to start

tuxy

Is this idea completely dead? I'm still very interested and willing to help organise.

Miss_Ellie

I LOVE this idea....and would also be interested in joining....and willing to help/organise/whatever.

With Spring around the corner the timing couldn't be better to get out there.

CorkonianRebel

This is a great idea but is anything happening with it? I would be very interested in it also!

NathanKingerlee

How about kicking something off on a Sunday in Feb in the MacGillycuddy Reeks? Not Carrauntoohil, but something well do-able for anyone and atmospheric. What do you think?

Miss_Ellie

I thought we'd all be out canvassing and politican watching during February??!!??
That could be another persuit to add to the list....instead of bird watching.

Miss_Ellie

Hi all,

Following on from another thread in Outdoor Pursuits a group of us got together to go hiking.

We held our inaugural hike yesterday in the beautiful Glenstal near Murroe, Co. Limerick.

We would really like to incorperate other activities too....not just hiking.....so if anyone would like to join and suggest other pursuits then click on the link to our Facebook page.....or look us up under Hiking Ireland on Facebook.
