Get Out There!

There are fantastic events this summer to whet your adventurous appetite, both on land and in the water, writes Heather Irvine.

Escape from Ireland Swim.

Escape from Ireland Swim, July 1

This 1,900m open-water swim sees participants swim from Ireland's Eye back to Howth Harbour. It is a challenging swim that should only be undertaken by strong swimmers due to the tidal waters and strong currents.

Participant numbers are limited to 200, and swimmers will be transported by boat to Ireland's Eye.
