    It's going to be SO GREAT ANNA. Such a shame you won't be there.

    This must be the only thread I'm actually up-to-date on. Only 8 pages :)

    And some of them still wear headphones although numbers have decreased so I think DG might be winning that one :D

    Ok I'm on for greystones - bray.

    Never done it before though, is it on a cliff edge path? I'm afraid of heights!

    Hi tattycoram, at no point is the cliff path open to a drop so you should be grand. There are sheer drops but there is secure fencing at all points. I haven't got a great head for sheer drops myself but have never felt nervous along this stretch. Hope that helps!

    Once you do the cliff path , you'll wonder why you never did it before. Its a regular training run for me, and its never boring. I've run it in all conditions, including at night with headtorch.

    Don't worry - it'll be a new route/experience for most of us. I'll PM you my number so we can all find eachother on Sunday.

    :eek: You must have a searchlight or something? I've hit the deck there a couple of time in broad daylight!

    I grew up just down the road and it's my absolute favourite place to run. Wish I could join you all - I'll have to make do with the New Forest instead.

    headtorch :http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FYVF62C?keywords=led%20lenser%20r7%20head%20torch&qid=1437746303&ref_=sr_1_fkmr1_2&sr=8-2-fkmr1

    I won't tell you that during one of my night runs I came across a guy walking along the path dressed in black with face covered by his coat and no light.

    I ran a bit faster.

    Ok, so confirmed for tomorrow Greystones to Bray trail run we have:

    Dubgal
    Firedance
    Aquinn
    Bungy Girl
    Tattycoram

    Plan is to get the 10:08 DART from Bray to Greystones then walk/jog to the start of the trail for a 10:30 start.

    If anyone else wants to join us the more the merrier. We'll meet at Bray DART station around 10 a.m. (the good looking bunch wearing running gear and probably carbo-loading with baked goods ;))

    Sorry! :o I had thought of that a few days ago then promptly forgot about it again. Apologies, it would have been nice to meet you. Wasn't the best day for views, but we did have an enjoyable run.

    Unfortunately not Adrian. Visibility was pretty poor and it was spitting down so didn't even bring the phone with. Can imagine it would be a spectacular run on a clear day. We'll do it again !
