MOVEMBER

MID WEEK ADVENTURE

A quick note on our Covid response 

We’ve spent the last few months making sure that the lodge is ready to reopen, and that means making sure we’re in-line with all the government legislation/advice on safety and cleanliness. 

On top of that we’ve made some organisational and structural changes to the weekends to ensure that they run as safely, smoothly and as similar to our usual high standards possible – while retaining physical distancing. 

Among these changes are:

Smaller numbers on the weekends (less than 20), less students to more instructors during outdoor activities, multiple small yoga classes throughout the day, temporary closure of our dorm rooms, an optional extra day to add on to the trips, and a rethinking of how we serve food… along with an exciting reimagining of the menu. 

The upside is that these changes will make for more intimate, streamlined events that our guests will get more out of – the down side is that we’ve had to put our prices up a little to keep things on an even keel.

For a full and comprehensive rundown of all the changes we’ve implemented to make sure BigStyle can open back up in July check out our Covid response below. 

So thanks for reading and we’re very much looking forward to seeing you out wesht this summer!

* IMPORTANT MESSAGE *

Overview

Team BigStyle is joining forces with Movember this autumn to put together a few mid week days of adventure, watersports, craic, chats and work at our beautiful Atlantic Lodge. 

Movember is a charity very close to our hearts and we’re delighted to have a few of their ambassadors down to help raise awareness of men’s health and keep us in the loop. 

This trip is by no means limited to Mo-bros, Mo-sisters are more than welcome as well. 

The plan is to gather together a group of like minded people to spend three days and nights down at our Atlantic Lodge – spending our days practising yoga, surfing, hiking and getting a bit of office time in – and our nights having a few drinks, hearing some tunes, listening to a few talks and getting to know each other.

Office time and Typical Day Layout

As it’s mid-week we’ll have to fit in a bit of work time for some of our guests so the yoga room will flip into an office space for those of you who feel like being social while at work. Otherwise there is a desk in every room. 

Here’s what a typical day will look like:

What’s not included

  • Transport down. No problem for drivers and we’ve got a train & bus package for those non-drivers.
  • Alcoholic beverages – but there’ll be plenty of opportunities to stock up in an off-licence or enjoy a creamy pint of black stuff in a local boozer.

GETTING THERE

So there are two ways of getting down to us.

1. SELF DRIVE 

If you have your own car it’s a straightforward 3.5 – 4 hour drive down the M6. If you’re driving solo or have space in your car we’ll try to find you some other guests to carpool with.
Once we know who’s going we can start putting plans together regarding this.


2. TRAIN & LIFT

You can take the train from Dublin to Westport and we can collect you from Westport train station and bring you straight to the lodge.

The transfer from Westport train station to the lodge costs €10 each way  

From Dublin the plan would be:
Outgoing: Take the 18.15 train from Dublin Heuston to Westport on Friday evening

Return: Take the 5.45 train from Westport to Dublin Heuston on the Sunday evening

The train usually costs €40 return and takes 3.5 hours

 

What to bring Section
