Join Nuala on Sunday 21 June 2026 from 8am to 11.30am for a special Summer Solstice Wellbeing Hike on Binevenagh – the stunning mountain we call our base mountain, the mountain closest to our home and where our Outdoor Adventures first began in 2020.

Taking place on the longest day of the year, this Summer Solstice hike is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate light, nature and new beginnings. As the seasons shift, join us in welcoming summer with mindful movement, fresh mountain air and time to reconnect with yourself in one of Northern Ireland’s most spectacular landscapes.

The Summer Solstice will occur in the UK on Sunday 21 June 2026 at 9.24am BST, while we are on the mountain together – making this a truly special moment to pause, reflect and embrace the energy and abundance of the new season.

It’ll be a rejuvenating experience that blends breathtaking scenery, a deep sense of tranquillity and the uplifting atmosphere of the Summer Solstice.

Our Binevenagh Wellbeing Hike is more than just a walk – it’s a soul-refreshing experience and a beautiful way to honour the Summer Solstice, slow down, breathe deeply and embrace the present moment. 🌿✨

Beginners are very welcome.

£15 per person

✨ Spaces are limited, so book now and celebrate the longest day of the year with us in nature.

Out hiking in the Sperrin Mountains last night, we stopped to watch a skylark sing its heart out and dance on the evening wind. Had thought it was a pipit at first but stand corrected 🙌

Some of the best moments on the trail are when we stop, connect, listen and let the magic of nature fill our entire being ✨💫

Bulbin Way Loop – Summit Cross Hike with Nuala 🥾⛰️

Join Nuala on Sunday 14 June 2026 for a splendid guided adventure along the beautiful Bulbin Way Loop, culminating at the iconic cross on the summit of Bulbin.

This rewarding circular hike offers a wonderful mix of mountain scenery, peaceful trails and a memorable climb to one of the North West’s most striking viewpoints. The final ascent is steep and the terrain can be uneven in places, making this a medium–high level hike best suited to those with a reasonable level of fitness and some hillwalking experience.

The effort is more than worth it. From the summit cross, you’ll be treated to an unforgettable 360-degree panorama stretching across mountains, coastline and countryside. On a clear day, the views are truly spectacular and make for a very special mountain experience.

Ready to start something new? This gentle forest walk on Saturday is perfect for those wishing to begin. You’ll be surprised how quick 2hrs passes!

Join Nuala on Saturday 13 June 2026 from 10am to 12noon for a beautiful Wellbeing Walk around Loughermore Forest in Co. Derry.

As you arrive at Loughermore Forest, fresh woodland air welcomes you. The forest is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, offering a tranquil atmosphere. The pathways, lined with a mixture of evergreen conifers and deciduous trees, create a soothing green canopy that filters dappled sunlight onto the forest floor.

As we meander gently through the forest, we’ll pass tall stands of pines, spruce, and larch, interspersed with native trees like birch, oak, and rowan. Moss carpets much of the ground, lending a soft vibrancy to the landscape. Small streams occasionally cross your path, their babbling waters adding to the meditative soundscape.

As we walk, we’ll take time to notice the intricate details of the forest. This forest is an excellent location for practicing forest bathing (shinrin-yoku), where you immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells of the woodland for relaxation and rejuvenation.

If the weather is clear, we may even catch a glimpse of the surrounding Sperrin Mountains and rolling countryside.

By the end of your walk, your body will feel refreshed and your mind clearer. The combination of gentle exercise, natural beauty, and moments of stillness creates a profound sense of wellbeing.

Come join me!

There will be 15 spaces and it is £10pp.

A basic level of fitness is required. Proper walking boots/shoes are mandatory.

A great route for beginners or anyone new to hiking or who is perhaps keen to get back out hiking this year.

So random lol. I heard this song for the first time yesterday and now have it on repeat. After a dip in motivation this morning, these words - this track - are most definitely lifting me up this lunchtime. And sure whats not to love about a dodgey bit of chair-dancing! Enjoy 🤩
