Starting at the carpark (T 112 963 (Point A)) we walked up past the Pollanass Waterfall. Glendalough was teeming with tourists on this beautiful day and a dozen languages could be heard around us. Up past the waterfall, where the Wicklow Way turns left across a bridge, we turned right up the hairpin bend. A few minutes brought us to the start of the famous Spink Boardwalk on the right. This is about 2.5 km of boardwalk that heads up and along the cliffs on the southern side of the valley. It protects the delicate bog (already heavily eroded in places) while providing a clear route for occasional walkers and experienced hikers alike. The boardwalk is tough going as it heads directly uphill through the forest. Endless steps wind upward but eventually the path levels off as it leaves the forest and fantastic views open up of the lake below and across to Camaderry and Turlough Hill. The boardwalk continues along the line of the cliffs. There is a final hard slog up to the highest point where we met a couple who told us they had counted 1300 steps the previous week! I always see the wild goats that live along these cliffs. However I observed some walkers who passed within 20 feet of the goats without spotting them-surely hiking should be a mix of tough exercise and leisurely sightseeing? Beware that the boardwalk divides as one arm branches off towards Lugduff SE and Mullacor. Keep right at this junction.(approx T 092955 (Point B)) The boardwalk eventually runs out and a stone path leads down to a wooden bridge at approx T 075 963 (Point C). Most walkers then follow the track down to the Miners Village and the lake for the stroll back to the carpark. We headed N then NE towards the summit of Camaderry. It is a long haul across the bog. This is where the multitudes of the Spink Circuit are left behind and solitude is gained. I have rarely walked in Wicklow without spotting a few deer, and up here we were rewarded with a herd of more than a hundred scattered all across the slopes. They were surprisingly unfazed by us as we walked quite close to them. Camaderry was reached and we had a much needed rest. We had clear views SW across Lugduff to Fraughan Rock Glen, Lugnaquillia, and the surrounding mountains. In fact the views were great in all directions and I fancied I saw land far across the Irish Sea. After a trip to Turlough Hill we came back and reached the second cairn on Camaderry at T089 973 (Point D). Oliver kindly let us all know he had been here with his name scrawled on granite stone. Heading E brought us down along the shoulder where we picked up a track going directly downhill at approx T108 970 (Point E) towards the carpark. This becomes severely steep in places yet is a lovely walk through high ferns and forest. It’s wasn’t long before we rejoined the masses below and those who hadn’t even left the carpark turned to stare at these sweaty, smelly Mountain Men. Total time 6 hours.

We decided to climb lower summit of Camaderry. Set out from car park just after glendalough lodge(T 124 969 (Point F) Approx). From there we took a leisurely stroll down the road in a NW direction towards the upper lake you will see a right turn into picturesque Glendasan valley( T 122 970 (Point G) Approx), we took this. Following the signposted road and walkway(St. Kevins Rd.) up the valley NW towards the abandoned mines. Here we found a stone track with railway sleepers which is still on the signposted route. We kept on this track as far as the abandoned miners village(T 098 983 (Point H) Approx) where we took a sharp left in a SW direction through a track running over a spoil heap and up the side of the mountain. The ascent was steep and challenging in parts with some parts having to be climbed on hands and knees. Time to the cairn( T 089 973 (Point D) Approx) from carpark was approx 3 hours bearing in mind my partner is an inexperienced hiker. We had a much needed break at the top. We had great views of the surrounding valleys of Glendalough, Glendasan and Glenmalure and of course Lugnaquilla where there was still snow on the north prison. After a much needed sambo and water we began our descent. There is a track down the shoulder of camaderry from the lower cairn travellin in a SE direction. We followed this track, boggy in places but easygoing. Eventually coming into a pasture with some sparse trees where we saw a herd of deer. We followed the track to the right bringing us down to the car park at the upper lake in glendalough, this is very steep in places and takes a lot of time to descend safely this brings you into a forrest where the track is still steep and later gets easier dropping down on to the road at the upper lake car park( T 112 964 (Point I) Approx), from here we took a left heading NE along the road back to glendalough lodge where we had parked the car. Trip was challenging and very enjoyable. The weather was mild for early March. Trip took 5 hours including 20 minutes break at the top, this was with an inexperienced hiker. An experienced hiker would have done it in 4 hours or less.

Start at the Car Park at Wicklow Gap and follow tarmac road up to Turlough Hill. Keep rampart on left and follow it around to pick up track leading to Camaderry. Note: Access not permitted inside rampart - ESB Property. Boggy col before ascent to Camaderry but views from summit are excellent. There is a distinct track leading to the second cairn before the descent to Glendalough. From this second cairn the spur seems to fall into Glendalough! Over to the right on a clear day one can see the dramatic Fraughan Rock Glen with Lug in the distance. Nearer to the right are Mullacor and the Lugduffs. On the left are Tonelagee, Scarr and in the distance Djouce and War Hill. A lovely place on a clear Summer's day!

Followed the Miner Road and then river until it peters out (right bank is better ground), then headed due North to Lough Firrib. Headed East to fence with Turlough hill and up Camaderry ridge. Good track downhill to Glendalough. Take right path whe you reach wood and then very steep track downhill brings you directly into Upper Lake Car park.

Myself and my better half headed off toward Glendalough with the suncream at the ready. Arrived at the upper carpark to find it perhaps only half full which I found surprising. Headed directly towards the miners village from the carpark and onwards up the zig-zag track that winds up over the miners village toward the bridge on Glenealo river. A fine mist surrounded us at this point, and this combined with the warm sun rays made for a interesting if not refreshing weather front! Left the masses completing the spink loop at the bridge and headed along the right bank of the Glenealo river. There is a track along this bank although it should be noted that in places it is quite soggy under foot. The track continues on along the river the climbs gently to take you toward Turlough Hill. At this stage the mist was lifting and we headed directly for Camaderry. The summit of Camaderry does offer fantastic views in almost every direction with Scarr, Tonelagee, Turlough hill, Lugduff, Derrybawn etc all clearly visible. What a place to be on a fine summers day. Met two fellow walkers on top who kindly offered us some tasty treats....From the summit, navigation is not a problem as a track unfolds which will lead you directly to spot height 677. From here the spur of Camaderry opens out in front of you and takes you toward the track which is mentioned in numerous posts on this mountain. This track which winds down through the ferns and forest from the spur to the carpark is quite steep and care shoud be taken. It does offer beautiful views over to the lower lake though! Its a very short loop totally 9km which can be comfortably completed in 4 and a half hours. Perhaps next time we will head around turlough hill towards Lugduff to pick up the spink. Needless to say there are a numerous herds of deer above in the Glenealo valley, we counted 37 deer at one stage! (Comment Rating 3.40) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by dealer  7 Mar 2005 We started from the Upper Car Park in Glendalough and made our way around the right hand side of the lake to the old mines. Quite a few deer can be seen on the lower part of the climb. The route up is fairly straightforward (although soggy underfoot at this time of year) – just continue along the banks of the Glenealo river. You will pass a nice wooden bridge crossing the river but it is best to stay on the right hand side. Shortly after the stream dies out, begin to veer to the right towards Turlough Hill. Some nice scenery can be seen as you head towards the fenced reservoir, however, you will find a maze of peaty hags to negotiate which, unless luck is on your side means getting mucky ankles. Once you approach the fenced area take the southern route around and again negotiate some hags towards the summit of Camaderry. The summit is quite level and the cairn is not the most apparent at first. It is aournd here where we begun to meet several other climbers coming in the opposite direction. From here it is a short walk over to the second lower cairn. The scenery from here was spectacular and definitely worth taking the camera out of the bag for. From here follow the path down along the ridge for about 30 minutes until you veer down a forest track to the right. You also have the option to continue straight down along the ridge for an easier descent, but by taking the forest track to the right you are brought directly down to the Upper car park. Just be cautious as this part of the descent is very strenuous.
