Yesterday's TY hike in the hills directly behind the college was blessed with perhaps the finest day so far this September. The views afforded by such a clear day from Fairy Castle were breath taking. To the north the city sprawled away, in the bay the tide was low but sailing races were clear to see off Dun Laoghaire, round to Killiney hill, Bray Head, the two Sugarloafs (Little and Big) and on to Maulin, Djouce, War Hill and the mast on Kippure.
Many of the hikers took photos so these are just an initial smattering and we hope to post a pupil report on the walk soon.
