Djouce trail run

12-02-2015 03:11PM#1Djouce trail run 28 Feb/ 1 March
A bunch of boardsies are planning a trail run in Djouce on either Saturday 28 Feb or Sunday 1 March.
The first outing is planned as an easy and social outing, with more strenuous sessions planned for future outings. Bring a flask and more importantly, some form of cake
Any takers?5

You have just entered the deciding voteI may be able to do Sunday and I'll be driving from Dun Laoghaire. Just hope your definition of easy is the same as mine... Sunday it is trail peeps. Don't worry about pace for this one, it will be at the pace of the slowest so bring cameras etc and enjoy the views. 0 -

So now we just need to decide time: 10am or 10:30? 11 cos of the cross border northside runners? I'm a cross border entrant (will be driving from Dunboyne - actually that's two borders I'll have to cross!) 10.30 sounds good to me. Sorry if you said this already but have we a meeting point set? 0

Nothing set yet. I can see if I can dig up a link to the car park and a map of the route from the IMRA site ? Maybe we could meet somewhere that's easy to find(such as glencornac inn on n11) and carpool from there ?0 -

So, 10:30 it is and yes BG, pretty sure that's the same route I had in mind. I can't remember the name of the car park tho. It's the first of the three, isn't it? If I remember right, the second two are no longer open.Bungy Girl wrote: »Hope this works ... (On mobile, chubby fingers :-(

Dubgal hopefully this is the same route you had in mind ??
In future runs, there's a nice way up to Djouce through the woods from the third car park (just to give you food for thought ) 0 -

Yup, it's the first one. Think is just called Djouce Woods car park ?So, 10:30 it is and yes BG, pretty sure that's the same route I had in mind. I can't remember the name of the car park tho. It's the first of the three, isn't it? If I remember right, the second two are no longer open.
Didn't know that, sounds good. Lots of options around there including stretches of the Wicklow Way. Devil's Glen is amazing but a bit further out. Glen of the Downs another possibility ?In future runs, there's a nice way up to Djouce through the woods from the third car park (just to give you food for thought )0 -
So we're not going up Djouce? I misread the title and the original post. I saw the name Djouce and automatically assumed we would climb it. :rolleyes: If it's this route (in red on the map at the bottom) it looks a little flatter thankfully...:P
This is the planned route for the first trail outing. So it's Djouce Woods rather than the mountain itself. It's approx 8K (5 miles) with only 120m of climb so is very much an intro to trail running for people who are interested in trying it out and will be social in nature. As Dubgal said, future runs may well include a climb of Djouce, but let's not scare anyone away just yet 0 -
