    Sounds good! I'm on a step back week so just the one way (6 miles) will do me nicely. And yes, I must dig out the special occasion shorts ;)

    DG, If just going one way I assume it makes more sense to park in Bray, then get the DART to Greystones to the start, rather than have to DART it back to the car afterwards ?

    I suppose so...you'll have to walk/jog from the dart station to the marina, will you need me a guide?! Darts to Greystones are only every half hour and the Sunday service is atrocious so you'll need to time it with military precision whichever way you do it. Remind me again why you are not trailing there and back? :p I'll be starting from the Raheen car park ('half way' up the head) which cuts a chunk off, I'm not being as foolhardy as it sounds...

    Edit: oh yeah...step back week. Ok you're excused...

    there is a dart at 10.08 from Bray on Sunday that gets into GS at 10.17, I've no idea of distance from the station to the marina though, I'm going to have to leave Bray at 9/9.15am to 'jog' there and make the 10.30 start which is bit crack of dawnish so might just do one way, I can always do more miles in the PP on the way home!

    There's a DART at 10:08 from Bray, gets in at 10:17 to Greystones. Would that allow enough time to get to the marina ? Not sure where marina is but will figure it out, no need for guide :D

    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.

    :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.

    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 ;))

    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 !
