    Hanging in ireland

    Hi like minded people this is my first post, I thought this be a good place to start.

    My name is Davey I'm 40 years old living in Dublin.
    I'd my first night in a hammock when my brother and I did a bushcraft course in June 2004 up the North of Ireland. The fella that taught the class gave us hennessy expedition hammocks to sleep in for the week and I loved it so much I bought it from him on leaving. They where definitely not common in ireland at the time and I was a fan of the motor bike road racing at the time so it had a lot of travels and strange looks.😅 it eventually got put in the shed and forgotten about for years. In the last 5 years I've got back at it I've 4 hammocks now and joined a kayak fishing club where the hammock is my go to. My other hammocks are DD hammocks baught from the UK. I'm loving the hyoh podcast at the moment I started from the start I'm behind the Times only on episode 15 so no spoilers please🤣 + sorry I was a scout leader for 10 years how did I forget that but just finished up before Christmas to dedicate more weekends to kayak fishing weekends. My other hobby is making pike lures.

    Hello Davey23. Welcome to the forums.
    First and last time I as in Dublin was to aid my partners oldest son with his move there for school. Proud to say(though I had nothing to do with his studies) he is now a Doctor of medicine there. Sure wouldn’t mind hearing of your camping/hanging adventures so maybe him and I can do some adventuring there too.

    Fair play to him that's a long road my brother used to teach physics in trinity I never did the college thing but as my dad said we're to busy to go to college we are carpenters lol.
    Yep I'm hoping to get a few trips in this year around ireland and take a few pics.
