    Hey all, long time lurker, first posting in this forum.

    I'm living in the south west. I can be found cycling on the roads of west cork, screaming down the limerick hilltrails, puffing my way up the Tipp mountains, in the Kerry beaches or trying to run anywhere that will have me... (or in bed:confused:)
    Bit of a jack of all sports and master of none... but I'm happy out

    I'm not a member of any specific clubs so feel free to think of me if anyone is looking for an extra body for outings etc, I'll give anything a go twice.

    I am intrested in developing my skills around mountains though, rock, bouldering, rope work etc etc and available for all kinds of training etc.

    So thats me,

    Cheers:D

    Mostly just into Hill-walking and general rambling, although I did used to do alot of Kyak surfing a few years back. Like to go places where there is some archeology or something else of interest to be explored.

    Been using www.megalithomania.com for the last couple of years as a reference, then progressed on to www.mountainviews.ie . Both great sites for anyone interested in hill-walking and history.

    From Donegal originally but am living in Dublin at the minute and really interested in doing a mountain leader course if anyone has any info at all.

    Great forum btw. Want to give Lug a go this w/e and got some really good info on here.

    Thanks

    God..... Boards just has every thing.

    There was no option for "willing to give anything a stab."
    I do camp, but haven't in a while.

    From Dun Laoghaire area, hill walking whenever the old joints are loose enough to allow me. Planning on West Highland Way to celebrate Hawaii birthday next year, if anyone has personal experience of this walk please get back to me

    ;)

    I do quite a lot, never really thought of it, 'till now.

    Hiking(both light hill walking and mountaineering)
    Rock Climbing/Bouldering
    Sailing/Boating
    Kayaking
    Snorkelling
    Mountain Biking
    Road Biking
    Camping

    And I'm not sure if it counts, but I've also taken up Longboarding and Freeboarding after skateboarding for years.

    I also like to dabble in snowboarding when ever I get a chance.
    Haven't bothered buying one yet. I really must.

    I felt like i was betraying snowboarders everywhere by clicking skiing on the poll ... im a snowboarder but it wasnt an option!

    Freeboarding looks awesome!
    where do you do it?
    id love to give it a go!

    You definately should buy your own snowboard i bought my own one this year i couldnt believe the difference its just amazing! plus prices have gone way down in these recessionary times!

    This section is as close as I can find to a new member introduction section, which I can't find.
    I am a woodsman, living historian, historical trekker and a primitive skills instructor for our local Armidale living history group.
    18th century living history and historical trekking covers a vast selection of woodscraft/bushcraft/survival skills and crafts.
    I live in a forest and am off the grid, so woodscraft and woodslore are my lifestyle.
    Regards.

    No hill running as an option? Nor does the Other give a space to fill in the 'other details'.

    Regular hill runner, occasional hill walker, 1 time (so far) orienteer but loved it and will be back for more.

    As I understand it I cannot start a new topic here until I have a certain number of posts under my belt. However, due to who and what I am, I find very little I can comment on, so it will take a while to achieve these required posts.
    Just so you know I am not a lurker or armchair woodsman. I will contribute more when I am allowed/able to.
    Regards.

    Yeah, I'm understand that the threshold is 25 posts. This is to prevent spam on the forums, you'll clock up 25 pretty quickly if you're active.

    Thanks Phil, but take a look at the index, nothing there I can comment on. Hopefully someone will add a new post that I can comment on, but I doubt it. What I do is different to what you do, you are asking someone from the 18th century to comment on 21st century topics. All woodscraft I agree, but a totally different outlook, skills and equipment.
    Well that is 8 posts!
    Thanks again Phil.
    Regards.

    Hay Guys trying to muster a few more heads for a hike of Lug this Sunday any takers. We are meeting at 10 in lara and heading from there. Nice hike and should be a grand day for it. Bring some sambos and we'll have the craic. So far there are 5 or 6 of us who climbed for charity together, and hopefully everyone will muster friends as some are training to hike the 4 peaks in 48 hrs. No one will no everybody just looking to get afew extra for craics sake . Anyone Interested

    So it begins, signing up to start hillwalking, mountaineering tomorrow.. Gulp...

    Used to be very outdoorsy 8 years ago and then my.kids came along, used to kayak, go caving and rock climbing.

    Been walking a lot for the past few months and have taken up kickboxing. I was down in Kerry in July and it him me, I would love to climb carrantuohill but I didn't know where to start, I do now though.

    I want to to a basic mountaineer course, learn to use a compass and map read so I can go off by myself or bring my kids up with me when they are older.


    So looking forward to it. I'm 32 and plan to hit Kilimanjaro before I hit 40.

    What a pitty, one can only answer for one activity… I do bouldering and climbing, mountaineering (and as I don’t live close to high mountains, I regularly do normal hiking), skiing and running. 

    I also wanted to add slacklining and ski touring – anyone else into these? 

    https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/107100895#Comment_107100895

    Even if this one is quite old – what is 18th century historical trekking? :O
