Irish Independent 

In 2020, Ellie O’ Byrne did a fabulous article on our little family in the Irish Independent. She really captured a very good insight into our lives and why we hike with our young family.

Irish Adventure Film Awards

In 2019, we were nominated for the Irish Adventure Film festival adventure awards for hiking the County High Points with our kids. It was an unbelievable honour and a great experience to attend the ceremony. It was great to meet some of Irelands greatest adventurers.

53 Degrees North Columbia Campaign

53 Degrees North & Columbia

In 2019, 53 degrees north and Columbia ran a sustainable advert and selected our young family to represent the campaign in Ireland. We had great fun doing lots of walks and photoshoots in the Dublin woods. We have been using Columbia gear and shopping in 53 degrees north for many years and were thrilled to be working with such high profile brands.

Discover Ireland Staycation Campaign

Discover Ireland

In 2020, Discover Ireland approached us to explore Ireland on their Staycation campaign. We were truly humbled and jumped at the opportunity. We explored the magnificent Bere Island, Dursey Island and Connor pass. We loved the experience and the kids loved seeing themselves on the Discover Ireland advertisements on Television.

Tracks and Trails

In 2021, Tracks and Trails aired on RTE showing our little family meeting the legend, Pól Ó Conghaile. Pól was exploring Wexfords hikes he really showcased the true beauty of the county. The kids loved being on TV and our oldest daughter got a standing ovation from her classmates in Junior infants in primary School. We are missing our youngest daughter from the clip as Gina was pregnant while this was being filmed.

Experience Kerry

In 2021, Experience Kerry asked us to explore Kerry to help publicise its major attractions. We loved exploring one of Ireland’s most scenic locations.
