🥾 Sunday’s Hike – Wicklow
Sundays walk started from Drumgoff recreational area. Going through the Parish bog we ascended Carraystick mountain to Lugnaquilla for lunch. In near perfect conditions we then headed out to Leonard mountain to Jim's high rock. We contoured back towards Kelly's Lough with a short but steep decent. We then followed the forest track back towards the cars. Weather was perfect with blue skies all day allowing for great visibility. Thanks to Bernie for leading and to Nuala for the photos.

🥾 Friday’s Hike – Ballycrystal
The Friday night walkers had a foggy night with poor visibility on Black Rock Mountain. They used this to their advantage and did some navigation practice which included pacing and timing. Thanks to Tommy for leading.
