The Wicklow Round

ExtractorSpring72 · 2025-02-24 16:30:47

Hi guys Bit of a longshot here but a few friends and I are planning to hike the Wicklow Round over the course of 5-6 days in early July hopefully. Has anyone done this before? We’ve got a fair bit of experience and have already climbed most of the peaks we’ll be passing but none of us have ever gone more than 2 nights in…

Hi guys
Bit of a longshot here but a few friends and I are planning to hike the Wicklow Round over the course of 5-6 days in early July hopefully. Has anyone done this before? We’ve got a fair bit of experience and have already climbed most of the peaks we’ll be passing but none of us have ever gone more than 2 nights in the hills (other than completing the Wicklow way). Am I completely overestimating this or is there anything I should know?
Thanks

Anyone who has validly completed the Wicklow Round has run around the whole thing in under 24 hours. That's about 70 people (myself included) of varied abilities and skills. So what you should know is that it is definitely do-able to hike around in 5-6 days! Go for it.
