by Aderon  16 Mar 2009 What a brilliant weekend walk. There're Lynam's books, as you know, and this was a nice route. On way the down I passed people of all ages climbing from the WW side (past Powerscourt), but had taken the zig-zag or Raven's Glen side. Some may prefer this over the WW because you get your workout with few people and then have a really beautiful walk down a nice path, finally meeting others along the way.

For that much, the walk description was a little strange for the "junctions." I went straight up from the car park (two sets of paths go through the woods, one after the other, to avoid the road a good bit). At the second junction (path & road), go right to almost immediatley be at a road T-junction. Go left and up, coming soon to another "x" junction. Now this road folds back on itself, goes straight (sort of off road) or down. Go straight and up, in the Raven's Glen direction (this was where it was a bit confusing because the guide says to stay on the road, even though the road proper folds back on itself). Go up and to the next junction to go left, and then immediately right to the climb the zig-zags, across a fence and stile (stop for a good few pics of Raven's Glen) and immediately left back on yourself a bit to contour up to Maulin top (I went straight up once I found the next path and aimed for the stone wall). The wind was fierce enough that when I took a step in the direction of the bluff leading to Tonduff, the wind held me even while leaning at 50 degrees! Ah well, so back down the well marked trail on the WW towards Powerscourt. It really is a very relaxing walk that way. Once in the tree cover, I slid down into the rows of red leaves beside a bluff, turned on the ole jetboil (keeping it out of the leaves of course) and had a well earned soup and tea with a book :D (and nearly a nap!).

Parked in Crone and followed the WW up to the Powerscourt waterfall viewing point, continuing then following the obvious track to the summit. This leg was hampered by strong wind. Up over summit and down to the Style and forest track back to Car.

by irishsmurf  2 Apr 2010 Picture from the summit of Maulin 07/11/09. Nice walk for the winter months. About 2.30 - 3 hrs walk. There are a couple of different ways to go up all starting from Crone Car Park. Be careful the Car Park closes at 4pm as per the car park signs! 6pm in the summertime.
