Was up there today. Wouldn’t have been there only for this excellent website.
Just one word of warning. Sign on the gate says “Gate Closed at 5 PM”. I left at 5 pm and there was still a half a dozen or more cars there so hopefully no one got locked in. Lovely walk.

Did this today in fairly bad weather. The previous posters who’ve taken small kids on the full route must be mad – there’s far safer walks available, including several marked on this site. While you could probably take the route anti-clockwise with small children as far as the Eagle’s Crag, taking them clockwise up the Eagle’s Crag is a bad idea. The area’s very boggy, and holds water for a long time after it rains. I reckon I busted a rib slipping off it it this morning.

Anyway, if you’re taking kids out for a long walk, I’d suggest somewhere like the Devil’s Glen, one of the lower walks around Glendalough, or around Lough Dan.

Thanks for the great site!

Hi All,

I live on this walking route with my family.
Our lovely little puppy that myself and my little sisters adore went walkabouts this morning with some walkers.
We have searched for her all day, but no joy.
She was seen by a neighbor following a group up the lane, but did not go to them when called.
If anybody has seen our lovely puppy Binky or has her and is minding her, could they please call my mum, Bibi on 085 2261864 or myself on 086 3089486.

Binky is white with light brown spots, 3 big ones on her back and several smaller ones, both ears are brown coming down over her eyes, but with white in between. She has a little underbite so has a little guilty look on her face. We love her dearly and are distraught at her disappearance.

She hasn’t got a collar on, and isn’t chipped, so we are putting all our hope in finding her through the internet and posters in the area.

Thanks,

Sara

Lovely walk, did it yesterday, would love to see it in the summer. Really quiet. Did with 3.5 year old, part carrying, part walking. There is a wooden seat on the walk over looking the river which we stopped and had a picnic at early on in the walk.

Absolutely fabulous, walked it many, many times. Don’t be afraid to experiment – there is a nice walk from the back of the church and another to the left just before the bridge. You can also walk to Rathdrum – just keep following the river downstream.

Tried it today but river was impossible to cross. Could not make it without taking big risks.

Climbed The Lug yesterday, 10th April. Zero viability but had maps and compass. All went well until we met a blonde who told us to head for places that didn’t appear on our maps………. I think she thought we were Muppets.
Hey, Lesley, we did alright!! Not even a blister today. Great walk/climb. Great company
