Siúl Sléibhe/Hillwalking

Start Date: 14/08/2010

End Date: 21/08/2010

South West Donegal has some of the best hillwalking areas in Ireland and its 2000 ft. mountain, Sliabh Liag, is regarded as the finest marine cliff in Europe. Despite the beauty of this peninsula, it is relatively under-utilised by walkers, even in the height of the ssummer sseason. All routes, followed by Oideas Gael, vary in difficulty and give participants a chance to see the best of South Donegal’s wild and varied coastal scenery. This area forms part of the Donegal Gaeltacht and it is hoped that walkers will be able to use their knowledge of Irish during the course of the week’s holiday, or if new to the language, that they will practise a few works and expressions. Emphasis is on enjoyment and the evenings are spent listening to some of the traditional music, for which the area is famous & to join in the craic which accompanies the OIDEAS GAEL programme of courses. These walks will not involve any rock climbing and some are quite long and strenuous. It is essential, therefore, that participants ensure that they are fit enough to undertake such exercise (all walks are 4-6 hours long). In iardheisceart Chontae Dhún na nGall atá cuid de na limistéirí siúil is fearr in Éirinn, le Sliabh Liag a mheastar a bheith ar an bhinn mhara is mórthaibhsí san Eoraip. D’ainneoin áilleacht na leithinise, ní thaithíonn siúlaithe cnoc an oiread sin í, fiú le linn ardséarsúr an tsamhraidh, as siocair í bheith chomh scoite sin. Tá rogha siúlóidí á tairiscint nach ionann deacracht; tugann gach ceann acu deis do shiúlaithe breathnú ar éagsúlacht radharcanna fíoráille de chuid chóstaí iargúlta dheisceart Dhún na Gall. Cuid de Ghaeltacht Dhún na nGall é an ceantar seo agus táthar ag súil go mbeidh ar chumas siúlaithe a gcuid Gaeilge a úsáid le linn shaoire na seachtaine, sin nó, mura bhfuil an teanga ar a dtoil acu, go dtógfaidh siad abairt nó dhó. Sult agus sásamh is mó atá i gceist sa chúrsa & beidh am go leor tráthnóna le h-éisteacht leis an cheol tíre a bhfuil cáil ar an réigiún dá bharr agus taitneamh a bhaint as ach chraic a bhíonn mar ghnáth chuid de chúrsaí Oideas Gael. Cé nach mbeidh ailleadóireacht i gceist sna siúlóidí beith roinnt acu measartha fada agus maolach agus caithfidh luacht an chúrsa a chinntiú go mbeidh siad www.Oideas-Gael.com

Description

Last year Oideas Gael celebrated 25 years of Irish language courses and cultural activity holidays. Over this time we have become leaders in the field, attracting thousands of participants from all over Ireland and throughout the world and I have great pleasure, in inviting you to join us this year. In the beautiful setting of south Donegal you will have a unique opportunity with other interesting and motivated people to learn or improve your Irish in a tutorial group, or to go hill-walking, or participate in music, song, dance, painting or other workshops, as set out in our brochure and website. www.oideas-gael.com . Whatever you choose, a pleasant holiday is assured – and do pass on the word! Anuraidh (2009) rinne Oideas Gael comóradh ar 25 bliain de chúrsaí Gaeilge agus cultúir a chur ar fáil. Le linn an ama sin táimid imithe i dtús cadhnaíochta sa réimse agus na mílte ag tarraingt orainn ó gach cearn d’Éirinn agus ón iliomad tír ar fud an domhain. Is mór mo phléisiúr, mar sin, cuireadh a thabhairt duit a bheith inár gcuideachta an bhliain seo. I gceantar álainn dheisceart Dhún na nGall gheobhaidh tú deis ar leith páirt a ghlacadh, mar aon le daoine spéisiúla eile ag a bhfuil an aidhm chéanna, i sainghrúpa teagaisc faoi chúram oide chun Gaeilge a fhoghlaim nó a fheabhsú, sin nó dul ag siúl sna sléibhte, nó a bheith páirteach i gceann dár ceardlanna, mar atá sa bhróisiúr agus ar an suíomh idirlíon www.oideas-gael.com : ceol, amhránaíocht, damhsaí agus péintéireacht. Cibé rogha a dhéanfaidh tú féadfaidh tú a bheith cinnte go mbeidh sárlaetha saoire agat linn. Seol teachtaireacht chugamsa le haghaidh tuilleadh eolais – agus scaip féin an dea-scéala!
