Djouce trail run

Dubgal72

Djouce 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?

folks I was just having a look on google maps to make sure I know where I'm going. Are there 3 car parks on that imra.ie map? I think this is the one with the Red P on the map?

As far as I know, the second two car parks have been blocked off, can you confirm BG or Ultraman? It's a few years since I've been up there...

That looks like the right one to me. It's the first of the car parks on the right on what I think is called Long Hill road if coming from Enniskerry/Kilmacanogue direction. I haven't been up there in a while so I don't know about the other 2 car parks being closed or otherwise but to the best of my recollections it's called 'Djouce Woods' car park.

I think we're on the same page

The first car park anyway on Long Hill

How do I get there?

From Dublin take N11/M11 south to the turn off for Enniskerry R117. Take the R760 and veer left to in the direction of the R755. Turn right up the Long Hill and the car park is on right after 1.6km. From Wicklow and south take the Enniskerry turn at Klimacanogue on to R755. Take the R760 after 1.6km and after a further 1.5km take a sharp left up the Long Hill. The car park is on right after 1.6km.

If you guys are planning on heading via Earls Drive, then yes, that's the correct car park. There's a car park just inside the barrier to the left there.

And yes, the two later car parks are no longer open. The Long hill car park is the one to use.

Does anyone need a lift from around Dun Laoghaire or somewhere along the way?

That's a shame. Next time for sure!

Hopefully this will be a monthly thing so see you at the next one Mimojo and Firedance

Last bump before tomorrow. 10:30 am, we'll hang around for 5 minutes but then head off unless any of us has heard otherwise. I'll be there at 10:20 and will be the one with two kids (no Anna, they won't be coming with us, they'll be a bit tired from their ascent up Djouce

)
The wind is blowing up nicely and I even heard rumours of snow. Our route is quite sheltered but wrap up anyway!

Mimojo

Enjoy tomorrow all, let us know how it goes :-)

Been feeling fairly ropey this evening, ever since getting back from my run,

Hopefully I'll be grand in the morning but if not I'll have to drop out.

That's fear listening to the storm Adrian. We all feel ill at the minute thinking of the morning on a mountain in Wicklow!

Folks don't worry it's not a mountain !! Just an 'undulating' trail through the woods. Less than 5 miles and maybe a total climb of 120m.
