"It's not advisable to drink too much strong liquors while climbing in the Alps. If, however, you are going to fall over a cliff, it's advisable to be thoroughly intoxicated when you do so. - Anonymous English alpinist"

This Sunday's hike will take place from the Wicklow Gap across Turlough Hill, over to Conavalla and then down to Glenmalure. This hike is an excellent opportunity to test your navigational skills if you have not already signed up for Mountain Skills as we will attempt to find Lough Firrib and Art's Cross on our way. These are notoriously difficult to find. Indeed, one can be 10 metres away from Lough Firrib on a perfectly clear day and still not see it. Remember to wrap up well with fleeces, boots and waterproofs. Meeting Points 10 o'clock at Earlsfort Terrace and 10.15 at Jury's Montrose | |||||||||||
