Just back from this walk. Did the loop all around lower lake with 3 kids (youngest 3 and oldest 6) and took 3 1/2 hours but stopped 3 times for breaks/lunch etc. Very mucky (husband scrubbing shoes in sink right now!!) and quite hard to find path after leaving Eagle Crag, and it seemed to us like you just had to go across country for a bit which was hard going but maybe we missed something? The whole thing was a great adventure for the kids, the views were stunning and the weather was amazing for an early November day.

Along with most of the other posters, Great Job, a really usefull site;

would you consider putting a system of labels for the terrain etc, I think that would help (particularily the older walker and those with families!)

Thanks once again!

I did this walk this morning, and it was lovely with the lakes and mountain. My only rant is I forgot about our Irish weather condition that made the entire path a swamp. You had to go very slowly and watch every step and even still I fell over several times sliding in the muck.

Hi There,

did a nice walk last Saturday, 21/05/11. Started in Crone car park. Up WW as far as Glenspolan edge, then up to Maulin summit. From there across to Tonduff South and then Tonduff North.

Descended from Summit cairn down to Military Road. Intended to do a circuit of the two Lough’s Bray. However could not see any kind of track or path coming down, (or going up!!) for Upp Lough Bray.

Did wonder if it would be possible to take the Kippure Road up for a few hundred feet, and then switch over towards Upr Lough Bray? I needed to do it from that side, as it would then be simple to road walk back down along Glencree Valley to Crone car park.

Great site. Agree with some other commentators that a “pram friendly” and “bike friendly” filter on routes would be really helpful. Also some road references to get there. keep up the good work!. L.

Well done with your site. I climbed up Eagles Nest above Lough Bray and back to Gate lodge with 5 kids – youngest being 3 years old in approx 2 hrs. Myself and few friends have started doing 20km walks along Wicklow Way. Do you know of a route around the Lough Bray Upper and lower which would take approx 3.5 – 4 hrs? We want to avoid having to walk on the roads?

The lough dan walk could be done with a pram if you stick to the road and path. You may need a little help getting over the stile, but i am sure it can be done. Be prepared for hard push up hill!

Hmm, I’m not sure any of the walks here area really feasible with a pram. I do have a couple of new walks which I would say would be ok with a pram – one in Cruagh Wood and the other at the Lead Chimney near the Scalp – but I haven’t had time to add them online just yet. Will try to get them posted up asap.
