Car boot Sale today ( Sunday ) in Rathdrum

well, am up with the lark this sunday morning as am doing the second leg of our wicklow way walk with terry and gang from hilltop treks. (There’s still time if you get there before 11am) whom I am meeting at 11am a The Glendalough hotel, which incidentally could do with a bit of a refurbishment in my personal opinion…( Lynhams of laragh has gorgeous hotel accommodation just a 10 minute stroll from Glendalough so if your looking for a  Glendalough Hotel this is one we recommend – tell them we sent you!) We are then walking to Glenmalure over the rolling wicklow hills and boggy gounds- oooh the fun!

Alas, poor little skippy is not able for the big Wicklow hikes now but he is with us in spirit (as he is taken for a run on the beach instead by my better half!)

Antywayz, I was up in Rathdrum earlier getting my papers etc in Lily cahills shop ( opens around 8.30am!) and I noticed the cars already unpacking their wares and treasures in the main carpark at the top of the town.

So if your looking for some way to spend the day in Wicklow today, why not pop up to picturesque Rathdrum and have a stroll around the Car Boot Sale, enjoy a fantastic wooden walk by the river in Avondale ( 5 euro parking) or drive to the famous Glendalough ( 15 min, parking charge at upper lake carpark- about 4 euro) and then treat yourself to a gorgeous meal in Bates Restaurant?..

Well, gotta go stretch before this walk – am a little stiff from yestersdays one from Roundwood to Glendalough- It was lovely though- such a great way to spend the day. I will post photos and more details of the walk tonite.

ciau for now,

Roz and Skippy the dog ( in spirit)
