The weekend does not need to revolve around nights out. Here are five weekend activities you can enjoy that will really help you make the most of your free time. 

 

 

1: Take a hike

One thing I want to do more of is venturing off on hiking or walking trails. Fresh air, exercise, views plus time alone or with family and friends.  A nice way to see what trails are in your local area is to visit www.irishtrails.ie and choose the specifications you would like. 

 

 

 

2: Wall Climbing 

I’ve done this a few times and always had a ball. It’s FAR tougher than it looks but great fun to do as a group. A simple google search will show you of companies in your area that offer the service! Check it out. 

 

 

3: Beach Walks

One of my favourite things to do is to go to the beach. You don’t have to wait for the summer weather either. Wrap up, pack a healthy lunch and a few towels and snacks and head off for a little escape time. The beach, the sound, the smells, the air can be so therapeutic. But don’t take my word for it. Go see for yourself. 

 

 

4: Surfing

Another great thing to do at the weekend is to take some surfing lessons. We live on an island – literally surrounded by water – and we don’t often think of it for weekend activities. Look up the nearest surf schools to you and give it a go.  

 

 

5: Road-trip on the Wild Atlantic Way 

This is top of my list for day trips in 2017. I really want to take in some of this gorgeous country and spend time seeing places I haven’t seen before. For more on planning your route visit www.wildatlanticway.com
