Hill Walk, Wicklow

Troop up Trooperstown Hill and round Round Hill

Post Christmas hike; day after St Stephen’s Day (27 Dec 2017). A hike for my REGULARS in the Laragh area followed by Carvery Lunch (~€12) in Lynhams of Laragh, which I’ve provisionally booked for 25 people.

We will hike Trooperstown Hill from the Laragh side + Round Hill (not too tough and fits the bill; see previous outing there http://www.meetup.com/MikesWicklowHikes/events/231039239/).

Hill Walk, Wicklow

Djouce Odyssey (09-Oct)

This walk includes a section of the Wicklow Way near Lough Tay (a film location for ‘Vikings’ and ‘Excalibur’) heading towards White Hi2ll.  Panoramic views from the start on this one of the neighbouring hills, lakes, and reservoirs, and 360 gran vista atop Djouce (assuming no mist) onto its many spurs including Middle, Paddock, and Barrack Hill. We will head up to the Djouce summit (725m) and return back to our start point via new route or the Wicklow Way.
This route can get very windy and cold, so bring those extra layers.
