I was a bit apprehensive about the hill walking at first, being a local myself and needing a guide, but when we were out there and Séamus was able to share such knowledge of the area and of the earth, it was definitely worth every penny and definitely doing it again!”.

Suzanne Comeford, Ballybofey. She totally nailed this particular climb when nobody else could! Go on the girls!

"The climb is challenging and exhilarating, hanging on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. It's both exhausting and invigorating, a great experience, would highly recommend it".

Howard Chu, L.A. Donegal.

 

Hailing from Donegal myself I was a little embarrassed to discover that we had such amazing outdoor adventure opportunities on our doorstep that I was unaware of! All credit to mng.ie for developing local and national tourism with Rock & Roam sa Ghaeltacht. A really fun weekend that I would highly highly recommend"!! Roxanne Keaney, Letterkenny/Dublin.

"I am not an adventurer nor a gaeligor but I had a fantastic time rocking and roaming in the Gaeltacht with mng.ie. everything was organised really well and Seamus gave me a big stick to get up the hill . I felt like an adventurer by the end and got some gaelige on my tongue too. Go Raibh Maith Agat"! Louise Ozbay, Strabane. Sept 2013
