Ireland - Mountain Biking, Horseback Riding, Water Sports and Dublin : 10
days
After meeting up with trip leaders at Shannon International Airport, we
head to the beautiful coastal areas of "the Emerald Isle." The
River Shannon is our setting for a day of team-building water sports
activities followed by a two-day horseback ride through the spectacular
mountains around Tipperary. We'll get a great taste of authentic Irish rural
culture while practicing "leave no trace" camping methods next to
hidden lakes and remote villages.

Following the river will be an overnight stay in an old Irish castle,
rumored to be haunted for the past 300 years. During a scenic drive north
over the famous Cliffs of Moher we stop to take in the view of the Atlantic
Ocean 600 vertical feet below. Two days of spectacular mountain biking in
the beautifully rugged Connemara region concludes our adventures on the West
Coast. Dublin highlights this section's cultural and urban discovery, as we
visit Dublin Castle, the Liffey River, Trinity College and O'Connell Street,
exploring the rich history and numerous sights of the Irish capital.
» Wales - Climb Snowdon, Rock Climbing School and Surfing, Service
Project : 8 days
A two-day backpack ascending Mount Snowdon, the second highest peak in the
UK and Ireland, and Wales' highest, is truly an accomplishment to savor!
After safely negotiating the narrow ridge to the summit we can enjoy a
breathtaking view over the whole of Northern Wales. Adventurous rock
climbing climbing and canyoning awaits us at another corner of the national
park where certified instructors join us to teach skills, Safety and
techniques.

Climbing
will be adapted to individual skill levels. The Gower, the UK's first area
declared "An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" on the southwest
coast of Wales is an idyllic setting for Wild Isles' surfing adventure. We
will be spending time here, working hard with local park service by
restoring old trails to prevent future damage. Surrounded by Sandy beaches,
we learn the art of wave surfing for two full days! Here we'll spend our
evenings in Swansea exploring the delights of Wales' second largest city.
» England - London : 4 days
Wild Isles' final adventure is a three-day exploration of London's
highlights and hot spots. We'll experience English history and modern
culture, from the Goths to the punks of Soho with visits to the Tower
Bridge, Buckingham Palace, the Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus and the shops at
Oxford Street. Finally, we'll celebrate a fantastic trip with a wonderful
dinner out and a great last evening.
