    Bring spades and dig weeds in my garden :D

    Walk the prom or go to Silverstrand, go kayaking or windsurfing in Rusheen bay, drive around Connemara etc etc. If its sunny you'll probably have a great time just lazing around town/spanish arch etc.

    Where is this exactly? Didn't know they needed dog walkers but wouldn't mind doing it myself.

    I believe the sanctuary is out near Portumna. A bit of a trek from Galway city, but well worth it, and you're doing a good thing too;)

    Corrib Princess, about an hour and half from Woodquay up to the lough and back. Some interesting facts about Galway and they have a bar.

    I was just on it yesterday and got a sun burn so bring sun block if it's nice.

    Bridgets Garden - its in Roscahill (halfway between Moycullen and Oughterard). Really nice place to walk around. Food is suppose to be good there too but very pricey imo so you could bring a lunch and eat it on the benches outside.
