Walked from Greystones to Bray last week its a lovely walk on a fine day. Finished off with a coffee upstairs above Cassonni’s chip shop looking out on the sea while I waited for the taxi I booked from braytaxi.com for my return trip.

Walked this today, from lower lake car park. Great walk, very cold most of the way. Didn’t turn down soon enough, so made it to the fence at the resevoir… a lot of time in the bog All in, 5hrs 50 mins, including about 20 mins of breaks. 18.5km with 1,000m of ascent & descent according to Nike+GPS

Someone told me that the Cliff walk was interrupted by the work on Greystones harbour. Is it open again?
Thanks.

Went on this walk today and was a bit disappointed with it. While it is a lovely walk, it was considerably shorter than i thought it would be. Myself and my girlfriend are hobby walkers and were ambling along at a moderate pace and we still got around the trail in about an hour.

It’s handy if you live close by for a quick ramble around but not worth the 1.5 hour drive from home in Dublin.

Great blog and keep up the great work!

Stephen
Mountain can be climbed at any time of year but take care in winter as snow and ice are not always obvious from base. Make sure you have decent boots and proper all weather gear as its definitely not a stroll. Map compass etc all essential as the summit can be shrouded in cloud with very little warning and there are steep cliffs at the south prison leading from summit. Most strightforward route is from Fentons pub in Glen of Imaal. In winter in particular note that this can take 5 or 6 hours – make sure you leave enough daylight to complete safely.

Happy Hiking

Did this walk today (28/12/11). Great walk – a bit boggy once you come off the summit of Camaderry but a great adventure. Took 3 hours 40 minutes but that was with no breaks of significance – too cold and windy to sit around!! We also saw deer at close quarters.
