a very special place...

I'd only scheduled a short walk for today, so I'd have lots of time to look round Glendalough. The walk itself was uneventful, except that when I was walking along the top of paddock hill, in a world of my own, I suddenly found that there were two hares right in front of me. I hadn't noticed...

Dublin once more

Later that day, I got the bus back to Dublin. I went back to the East Coast Swing lessons that evening, and had an excellent time. Two lessons gives enough steps to almost dance with, and I got the footwork enough that I could insert some Modern Jive moves. Hopefully they didn't look out of...

Glencree, and on

A nice sunny start to the day, as I descended into Glencree. It's a wonderful valley, great views up and down, big U-shaped valley, a very scenic babbling stream, woody glades (no I don't know why I have no photos). Climbing the hill on the other side, suddenly I rounded a curve and...

The start of the walking bit

The walking bit starts, so what happens? It starts raining. Hard. I started from my B & B in Dublin, and walked South towards the start of the Wicklow Way. I wasn't going to walk the whole thing, only as far as Glendalough. I went through a soggy Rathfarnham, saw a soggy looking castle in...

15 miles to go...

The Wicklow Way is the easiest footpath I have ever followed. Every so often there are these little black way markers, and with a map as well it's pretty difficult to go wrong. That was my thinking, anyway, as I set off on the long uphill stretch out of Marlay Park into the mountains. Marlay...

A day by the seaside, or something...

Howth isn't exactly secret, but thankfully not too well known. It's an island just North of Dublin, connected now to the mainland and with a trainline. I did wonder why there were so many people on the train: I soon found out it's because Howth is such an excellent way to spend a Sunday. The...

On the way to Newgrange

I could have taken a guided trip to Newgrange, but I decided to do it by train and bus. This meant a stop off at Drogheda. It's a fairly average small town with a big river and this little Martello tower. There's a little local museum next to it, and the LOL (little old lady) at the desk gave...
