Ever wanted to climb the cliffs of Dalkey Quarry?

Sleep beneath the stars in the Wicklow Mountains?

Or hike the lakes of Glendalough?

I was told that you guys are helping out small businesses by posting our gift vouchers. I have these super delicious vouchers (pics 1-3) that I just got printed out and picked up yesterday.

I had just set up my company Wild Summits  and left my full time job as I was getting booked up for my “Weekend Expedition” trips. With this covid-19 I had to refund everyone.

Anyway I’ve put together these vouchers in the hope of generating some income for the business.

I have three types available: Introduction To Rock Climbing: €65; Wicklow Weekend Expeditions: €75 and Night Hike: €25.

Treat a friend or loved one to a Wild Summits Experience. We will send you the gift voucher and you fill in the message box with your personalised message.

So give someone something to look forward too. We need the good vibe.
