Out & About Hiking is a Dublin based hiking group founded by and consisting of members of the Irish and international LGBTQ+ community.
Since 1989, the group has brought together members of the LGBTQ+ community for a common interest outside the space of pubs and nightclubs. Offering an alternative to the nightlife scene, Out & About has forged strong friendships amongst its members and has even resulted in a wedding or two.
Group member David Caron, who has been hiking with Out & About since 1999, described to Dublin Live exactly what the group gets up to and what members love about it.
