The French writer Guy de Maupassant said that he had lunch in the Eiffel Tower frequently as it was the only place in Paris that he didn't have to look at the thing. I feel much the same abou...

Garraunbaun: Nothing to see here...

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 2 days ago

simon3: Track 2367 in area near Knocknagun, Dublin/Wicklow (Ireland)
Dublin Mountains from Glencree.
Length: 19.7km, Creator time taken: 5h21m, Ascent: 656m,
Descent: 778m

Places: Start at O14126 17993, Knocknagun, Tibradden Mountain, Glendoo Mountain, end at Start
Logged as completed by 1

This walk started from the Glencree Reconciliation Centre. This can be a reasonably secure place to park however may require payment. There is also a cafe there. Find out when the place shuts before you set off.
This walk goes over Knocknagun and takes a heathery descent to the forest above the Glencullen valley. It is possible to extend the walk onto Two Rock (see other tracks for how to do this.) or go over Tibradden Mtn as shown.
The river north of Glencree may become impassable in high rain requiring a walk around another route such as via the Military Road.
