WOWWW!! what a weekend we had on Inishbofin for the music fest ๐ถ
Inishbofin is one of our favourite islands anyway (we've been there twice before on Soul Stuff group trips) but to be there for this lovely little festival was extra special ๐ฅฐ
Twenty three of us in total - enjoying the music, exploring by bike, eating lots of nice food, hanging out, connecting, making pals, having the absolute LOLS together โจ๏ธ
A very, very feel-good weekend and we will definitely be back again next year!!!

Marie is the very first Soul Stuff Superhost!! ๐ค
last year, when I couldn't make one of our hiking trips to the UK, Marie stepped in and hosted the trip for me.. & this year she did it again! ๐ it's VERY difficult to hand your pride & joy over to someone for the first time but i needn't have worried at all โจ๏ธ
whether she's hiking, running, providing plasters & encouragement, challenging herself to step outside her comfort zone, Marie puts her whole heart into whatever she's doing ๐ซถ๐ผ & that's why we love her ๐ฅน
thank you for being the first ever Soul Stuff host everrrrr & thank you for always bringing your energy, your kindness, your wit, your enthusiasm aaaaaand your epic dance moves to our trips ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ

This person had been following our page for FOUR YEARS and finally plucked up the courage to bite the bullet & join us on a weekend adventure ๐
It's the best feeling EVER when we know people went home with that lovely fuzzy feeling, after having spent the weekend connecting, laughing & adventuring with new friends ๐งก the one thing that's consistently said by the people who join us for the first time is how genuinely welcoming & friendly everyone is... I love this so much ๐ซถ๐ผ
If you've been on the fence... I encourage you to please get off it soon & join our community of adventurers ๐ค๐๐ผ

An absolutely jam-packed weekend of exploring the North Coast, Co. Antrim!! โ๏ธ We tried to fit as much in as we could into the weekend, and Sheep Island View Holiday Acc in Ballintoy was such a great base to explore from ๐๐ผ๐
We got to catch a sunset at Ballintoy harbour, saw puffins on Rathlin Island, had the most perfect morning for the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge & explored the famous Giant's Causeway ๐ฅน
An epic weekend with such a lovely crew ๐
