I had never heard of this stunningly beautiful place before, but had been telling a couple of friends about Wild Women of Woods for ages, and when this event came up we decided to go for it.

Dunseverick is about 90 minutes from Belfast.  Close to the Giant’s Causeway and the Dark Hedges (famous location from Game of Thrones).

Wild Women events are always great fun, and this was a one day event (ideal for us “Mild Women” who aren’t up for the longer camping events just yet).  But if camping is your thing and you feel better/safer doing it with a group of like minded, friendly women I guarantee you’ll have great craic.

If you’re visiting Dunseverick,  you’ll need to navigate a narrow windy road to get to the Harbour.  Once there you’ll find a decent sized car park, bathrooms and even a cute little shack were you can buy hot drinks and snacks and take in the views.

Being wild women, we hiked along the shoreline, and were treated to more breathtaking scenery than you could shake a big stick at.  The hike was fairly physical with lots of stiles to climb over, this was fine but might be worth remembering if you have bad knees etc.

After trekking back, the group decided to go for a dip in the deeper sheltered rock pools (I’ve gotten quite into sea swiming recently, and even if you just prefer to go for a dip its meant to be great for boosting your immune system).

All dried off and snuggled up in oodies (best invention ever).  Rachel who runs Wild Women of the Woods NI and her fantastic volunteers treated us to a super tasty barbecue.  Which was no easy task to feed over 40 ravenous ladies, on an uncharacteristically sunny almost tropical Summer evening. Afterwards everyone just rested, hung out, chatted, laughed and got to know people, some of us just  enjoyed soaking up beautiful surroundings that we would have never thought to visit before.

If you’ve seen Wild Women events before but were maybe a bit unsure about trying one, I promise you’ll see gorgeous places, enjoy fabulous food and meet lots of really lovely people.
