Meet the woman of your dreams on clare island

CALLING all the outdoorsy single men. Get your wetsuits and harnesses on. 

From June 19 to 21 a fun and adrenalin-filled weekend of outdoor adventure will be taking place on Clare Island, specifically designed with single folks in mind. And so far it’s looking like there’s a wee bit of an imbalance: more women than men!

Jam-packed with adventure activities, the weekend will deliberately steer away from any cheesy match-making. Instead, the focus will be on providing an environment where single people who enjoy being active in the outdoors can hang out, do some exploring and some adventuring with other like-minded singles. 

This is a singles adventure weekend, not a match-making festival.

The schedule includes a beach challenge, a choice of coasteering, rock-climbing and abseiling, or hiking, delicious meals, optional set dancing lessons, banter and live musical entertainment.

All gear will be provided, plus full instruction, so previous experience isn’t a requirement.  Just an up-beat, can-do spirit will see you through. There’ll be some activities involving all the group, and others broken down according to individual interests. But there’ll be plenty of mingling in the bar at mealtimes and in the evening – nothing corny, just a bunch of new buddies swapping tales of their adventures.

Departing Roonagh Pier on Friday evening, you’ll be back on the mainland again by lunchtime on Sunday. The all-in price of €215 includes return ferry, two nights B&B in the very comfortable Go Explore Hostel, dinner on Friday and Saturday night, lunch on Saturday, plus all activities.
