    Right trail wrong gate......that gate is further down the road...
    After coming out of Cruagh wood and the big green steps youll see a small gate...You literally cross the road at the bad bend and 10 metres down you will see a white pedestrian size gate with a gap to lead you onto the masseys trail.

    (google maps is an older picture the gates have been changed....)
    Youll know you are on the right track when you find 5 hurdles over the fences with the river on your lhs

    thank you. I was in the area again last Sunday and found the bottom entrance to Masseys, I could see the trail by the stream which leads up to Cruagh so I'll be hitting that up another time.

    Incidentally, I got a a bit of a fright in Massey's estate. Was running along minding my own business when I was jolted by a mans face. On closer inspection as I got nearer it was a large picture surrounded by flowers, obviously a shrine memorial for someone who I suspect died at the spot recently. :(

    Would love to do this but doesn't really fit training schedule unless I make it part of a 22 miler. Plus I've lost my trail shoes already! Next one hopefully. Enjoy.

    Was harbouring secret ambitions of doing this but alas I'm not allowed run hills for the moment.
    Maybe I'll make the next one.

    Enjoy!

    Thanks for the invite, but I'm not doing 20 or anything like it. Anyway our club gang will be convening at 8 bells as per usual. And we'll all be in red and yellow...

    There seems to be a bit of interest in another trail run so I'm resurrecting this thread to see who's on for an easy-paced run along this route. Going to suggest Sunday 26th July (morning, probably before 10am) off the top of my head. Post up alternative date(s) if you like, we'll go with the majority and then move to a new thread.

    Would be interested if the date changes as I am away that weekend and don't fly back until later on Sunday - I shall watch the conversation :)

    Cool, I might just start a new one to avoid any confusion over dates but will summarise anything relevant in the first post.

    Just giving this a bump for Sunday week. Who's in ?

    Going to suggest a 10 a.m. start, meeting at the Hellfire Car Park. If the car park is locked (this has happened me more than once) just park (safely!) where you can and jog back.

    Disclaimer: This is a social run. Everyone undertakes it at their own risk. Pace will be slow/conversational. Distance approx 12K as per PeterX's route assuming we can follow the map. Sense of humour required. Bring treats.
