No More Rain Checks 🌧️ with @kathmandu_outdoor
Kathmandu is New Zealand's #1 outdoor brand and it is set to make splash in Ireland this year 🏕️
Yesterday we were in the Lake District being introduced to the brand through a hike, swim and forest bathing experience in the stunning Wasdale Valley.
We will be testing some of their most popular products over the next few weeks.
At the moment @kathmandu_outdoor is available at @53degreesnorth @callofthewild_ireland @portwestireland but this will increase soon if our first impressions are anything to go by!

In 1912, the year of the “Titanic” the doors of Kilcullen’s Bath House opened for business. The Bath house had been built for the purpose on a site required by the Kilcullen Family as far back as 1898.
We experienced the Baths in February and we're left feeling incredibly refreshed and rejuvenated

Campfire Chats Line Up 🔥 @theswimmingbee
We are delighted to have Brianna Jackson speaking at the inaugural #CampfireChats event on 9th April 2024 at the Sugar Club.
Brianna was recently awarded the Outsider Breakthrough of the Year 2023. In January 2020, Brianna Jackson (39), hailing from Washington but living in Dalkey, Co Dublin, faced a challenging time as she gave birth to premature twins who spent a month in the NICU. Balancing the care of her two-year-old alongside the newborns, she was presented with the additional struggle of lockdown with no friends or family available for support. In an attempt to save her sanity, she turned to the solace of the sea, dipping daily come rain, hail or shine. Only able to doggy paddle, she decided she would teach herself to swim. She has now completed a number of marathon swims 🏊♀️
Not to be missed!

Irish Mountain Legend 🧗♂️
Last night we attended the Lynam Lecture & Award or Calvin Torrens hosted by @mountaineering_ireland 🏔️
We listened to some incredible stories about the early days of climbing in Ireland, how he hitched to Zermatt with £25 to his name. How he used shipping helmets for climbing and nuts from car wheels for protection in the Alps.
It was an incredibly inspiring evening and one that has left a lasting impact on us!
