Walk in Glendalough great fun

So Skippy and myself headed off last night to Glendalough visitor centre in Wicklow which was the meeting point for the full moon walk organised by Terry and the boys at hilltop treks. Thankfully, unlike todays horrid weather, it was a nice night with enough of a breeze to keep the sweat off.

At least thats’ what we thought until about halfway up the mountain when yours truly discovered how hot she was getting. Upon the advice of James King the sweeper ( stays at the backto ensure no-one gets left behind) I cut down my layers of clothing as otherwise I was prone to catching a chill whenever we stopped for a break.

I got chatting to lots of the people, there were about 25 people in total, some from Wicklow, some from Dubllin, some from France, some knew each other, some came alone, but by the time we had our break overlooking the upper Glendalough lake everyone was relaxed and chatting casually.

3 dogs accompanied us on our Wicklow Walking trip, Skippy, Sparky and Lizzie. The less about Sparkys dash for freedom the better methinks!!

Hilariously I met folks that I knew from my teenage years which was a bit of a laugh and all in all everyone had a great time. James was telling me that Terry and the lads are thinking of organising a wicklow camping trip. If so heres your first booking guys!!

Highly recommended walks with www.hilltoptreks.com.

Photos coming soon courtesy of Terry and his photographer – whose name i have yet to get but I will of course!  In the meantime here’s what I managed to take before my battery died!
