Wheres me jumpa

A beautiful morning in Dublin, so off to Wicklow I did go, to walk the Great Sugar Loaf. From Dublin it is pretty easy to get to. Drive along the N11, take a left at signposts for Kilmacanogue and Glendalough. Follow signs for Avoca Hand Weavers. About 5km outside the village of Kilmacanogue is a left turn onto a small country road. The Great Sugar Loaf will be on your left. A number of cars parked on the road indicated a gated entrance to the walk.

The walk is a steep one, across a loose, rocky terrain. The sun was beaming down on the southern slope. Wrapping around the mountain, there was still some frost which left some slippy rocks. Once the short walk is complete, you are presented with stunning views of The Wicklow Mountains, Bray, parts of Dublin, Howth and the Eastern coastline.

The pictures below are of The Great Sugar Loaf, Lugnaquilla (I may be wrong on this?), Me with the Irish Sea behind me and Bray.

Its a very nice walk with some excellent rewards at the end. Lots of young walkers on the route as well, Im sure they appreciate the rocky surface!
