Smeštaji za odmor – County Limerick

You can come up to our base in the Galtee Moutains (one hour drive from Cork City) and we will ride the bikes around the Galtee Castle Woods and then up into the mountains and then Hike into the Galtee Mountains, the highest inland mountain range in Ireland. The bikes are Rad Rhino fat tyre electric bikes with plenty of torque to help you up the hills and enjoy the downhills. I will share my knowledge of the local area while we cruise the trails and hike in the mountain. We will picnic with a hot drink and healthy food in the mountains with beautiful views. We also have accommodation available in a wooden yurt or a converted horse truck. Both can sleep up to 4 people each. https://www.airbnb.ie/rooms/5239784 https://www.airbnb.ie/rooms/20274465 Other things to note Snacks, drinks and wet weather gear.

You'll jump right into the field, meeting our lovely alpacas and horses. You will know everything about them, about their life and habits. I attended several Alpacas Classes where I get my advanced certificates with the British Alpacas Association and the Alpaca Association of Ireland. You'll have the chance to meet 2 Alpacas Breeds! Huacaya and Suri. It's not easy to see Suri as they are very rare in Ireland!! You can meet them only at our farm nearby Loop Head and Kilkee! You'll feed them directly, and grab one of them, if you feel ready to. You'll have the opportunity to cuddle them, check them and train them too! This experience is completely tailored on you! You'll have the opportunity to meet and greet the chickens, and maybe you'll be lucky enough to pet them too! We'll be back at home, and I'll show you a spinning wheel, that I use with the alpaca wool. You can even have a try :) !! In the meantime, I'll offer to you a nice tea or coffee with Italian homemade cakes. Other things to note We'll see and work with animals. Animals can be unpredictable sometimes, they can run, jump, or even spit. They can kick too. Normally it doesn't happen, but you must know that it's possible. We'll work mostly outside

Play some traditional Irish music for the first time in a unique and authentic setting! *During Covid-19, masks must be worn (can be provided). Sanitizer, anti-bac wipes and soap are available. When you arrive we'll chat a little about music to get the ball rolling. Absolutely no experience is required, however if you do have some musical experience of any kind we can try and relate this to the class. I'll tell you a little about the types of Irish tunes, where and how they are played, and then the activity will commence! We'll start with holding the instrument and then move on to learning your first tune. Instruments taught are fiddle and tin whistle. This page is for fiddle classes. Instruments are provided! The instrument bank isn't the biggest in the world, so this determines class size. Fiddle is suitable for 1 or 2 adults, or an adult and an older child, or 2 older children. Older children would need to be big enough to play an adult-sized fiddle. Solo experiences work for adults and children age 8 and up (with a parent present). By the end of the class you will have all the skills needed to hold the instrument and play your first tune. You can record the tune and techniques as mementos of your visit Other things to note I teach by ear, so no experience of reading music is required. All that's needed is to believe in your ability to learn! If you do read music and

We will meet at my home in the countryside and have a quick chat while I issue you with any gear you need like binoculars or wetpants (essential in Ireland and especially up at the cliffs). Best be up for adventure in all weathers to get the most out of this experience. Rain wont scare us off, especially when you are kitted out. Weather conditions can change dramatically at the Cliffs. Hence, Mother Nature will dictate the route i take you on but you can expect to hike between 6 - 10 kms at a reasonably leisurely pace over secluded areas of the cliffs. We will stop at various vantage points along the way to snap pictures and take little breaks. If it is a private hike, we will hike for the distance that you want to. Just message me. We will hike more than 700ft above sea level and trek to exposed narrow cliff edge tracks where the gulls fly below you. At dizzying heights the crashing ocean below is forming sea stacks, arches and caves. The essence of this hike is to take you away from a visitor centre experience and see the cliffs from a different perspective along trails which are less crowded. There is an incredible wildness and beauty here. Its a great way to completely immerse yourself in nature. I will organise snacks for our hike, fruit, nuts, cheese etc. Our hike finishes back at my house where you've left your car.

I will greet each guest at the front gate and introduce myself and my five sheep to them. They will be allowed to pet and feed the sheep. I will share a little about my background and why I love what they will be doing. Then we will go to the spinning studio where we will talk about wool, how it is sheared and washed before dyeing and spinning. Each guest will be given a skein of wool which they will take into the dyeing shed. A dye bath made from natural plants and flowers found in the countryside around my cottage will be ready for their wool. The wool will be dipped into the dye bath and allowed to stay for awhile. Meanwhile, back to the studio where I will teach guests how to card the fleece and hand spin it on a drop spindle and a spinning wheel. Guests will be given the opportunity to try their hand at spinning on the drop spindle. We will then take a tea and coffee break. After the break, back to the dye shed to check on the wool. We will take it out of the bath, rinse it and each guest can take theirs away with them. If time allows, I will do a weaving demonstration and each guest can try for themselves. Other things to note Guests should wear suitable clothing for handling fleece.
