    I'm totally up for this


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,182 ✭✭✭alexlyons


    count me in, any time.

    edit: suggest meeting in the car park or outside it if it's not open, easiest walk for all you people who couldn't hack the last one :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,258 ✭✭✭swingking


    I'm proposing we change this to Sunday 21st March. Anyone agree?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,182 ✭✭✭alexlyons

    Still suffering from the lack of sleep last Sunday so didn't make it here yesterday:o

    So by the looks of it I can have a lie-in this sunday...I'm definitely up for the 21st.

    And the weather will be perfect - noone is allowed to say anything else;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 218 ✭✭DutchGuy

    I was out in Sandycove this morning and if it's a clear day, then sunrise looks magnificent.

    Only thing to bear in mind is sunrise is getting earlier and earlier every week ;)

    Looks like 6:26 next Sunday. But as it's closer to town (not to mention from Sandycove:cool:) and less walking involved we should be able to get up even later than for Glendalough.

    I think the meeting time I put in the first post should be ok.
    Killiney hill carpark.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,258 ✭✭✭swingking


    Sounds good.

    @xia,

    How long is the walk to the top?
