 | The Sunday group enjoyed a sunny hike in County Wicklow. Their route took them over Ballineddan, Slievemaan, and Lugnaquilla before descending via Camara. The hike covered a total distance of 13 km, in great conditions. Thanks to Declan for leading and for the photos. |
A lovely evening was spent exploring Crannagh Mountain. Starting from the Nine Stones, we followed a quieter trail through an abundance of ferns, this route is far less travelled than many of the other paths in the Blackstairs Mountains. Along the way, we discovered several features, including a cillín, ancient rock art dating back approximately 4,000–4,500 years, Moll's Rock, and the Giant's Chair, named in local folklore. After the rockart by the river, we had a steep scramble to the mast on Mount Leinster. We finished the loop by walking down the service road back to the car, 10.5km, 621m ascent. Thanks John for leading.
