How Lethrovane Limited Started
We didn’t start out thinking we’d build a community. It all began when a group of friends realized they were tired of sitting indoors. They wanted to explore Ireland’s stunning landscapes, but most outdoor groups weren’t really designed for people in their 40s and 50s. So they organized a simple hiking meetup. Word spread. More people showed up. What began as one group of eight hikers on a Saturday morning has grown into something we’re genuinely proud of.
Lethrovane Limited has evolved over the years, but our core mission hasn’t changed: create welcoming spaces where adults can connect with nature and with each other. We’ve learned that when you remove barriers to entry and focus on genuine enjoyment rather than performance, amazing things happen. People make real friends. They discover hidden corners of Ireland they’d never have found alone. They try activities they’d written off years ago and realize they’re actually pretty good at them.
Today, we’re proud to offer four distinct activity streams — hiking, birdwatching, astronomy, and sketching — each with its own character but united by the same philosophy. We don’t believe you need to be young, super fit, or an expert to enjoy the outdoors. You just need curiosity and the willingness to show up.
