 "Whatever
you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic
in it." Goethe
The traditional skill of direction finding, choosing
a route and plotting coordinates has become a popular team
building activity for many of our clients. The dramatic natural
features of the Irish mountains will never be seen in the
same way, once you have learned to use them to navigate. It's
fun, good exercise and requires no prior experience - and
it's a highly effective team building activity.
