On Saturday evening, November 27th, a group of 14 TY pupils accompanied by myself, Ms Cauldwell and my hiking partner and friend of many years Brian Bell (a qualified and experienced Mountain Guide) completed a very enjoyable evening hike over the Dublin Mountains. We started in Tibradden Woods and followed the newly developed Dublin Mountain Trail up Cruagh Mountain before descending steeply through Massey's Woods. We then climbed up to the haunted Hellfire Club where we were rewarded with a stunning view of the lights of Dublin in the dark.
This fit and enthusiastic group of TY pupils are forming the SCC TY Hikers and we plan an exciting programme of challenging hikes over the coming months including completing the Wicklow Way, Dawn walks (led by Mr Swift), climbing a number of Ireland's highest mountains and hopefully aiming next April for the West Highland Way, Scotland's famous long distance route.
Many thank to Mr Patterson who helps with the transport and logistics.
Photos to follow soon.
