Did you cycle on it? Any grief from walkers?

Yeah, I'd regularly ride there as it's just outside town. No issues from the walkers. There's a great rowdy little loop at the start of the walk with a long chunky downhill section.

It's not too bad actually, you can go for 10km but it's hardship once you get a couple of km past Curraheen. There's an awful lot of waterbars where you have to get off and carry and it's constantly up and down so very little flow. I'm glad I did it but won't be going past Curraheen again.

Is there much around keeper hill? I heard there's a manic trail down the back of it called braking bad.

Yea there's a decent bit of biking to be had there now, plenty of trails a mix of xc and steep stuff, but you'd need to shown around, they are hard to find, Braking Bad is indeed manic, steep, boggy & slippy.

Boardwalk after Ballinastoe on way to Lough Tay

Lough Tay (not Dan!) - always surprises me how nice the view is from here

Forest outside Laragh - very nice bit of the Wicklow Way

Looks lovely steamsey, definitely plan on doing something like this myself.

Lools like you had decent weather for it. Thats Lough Tay though not Lough Dan. Lough Dan is the next one, further along towards Laragh.
You can see some of the piers and gangways they use for filming the Vikings and now Valhalla going out into the water from the beach on the right hand side of the photo.

D'oh! Always get them mixed up. Tay is the roundy one, Dan is the longer one.

They were filming around there last week alright.

I'm not 100% but i think it's the river Glenmacnass which shortly after where we camped joins the Inchavore river

Wailin · 23-09-2020 9:57am

Glenmacnass and inchavore river don't link up as far as I know.

Not sure if they join or one splits off from the other?

Inchavore flows in to Lough Dan
Flowing from Lough Dan is the Avanmore
The Avonmore and the Glenmacnass meet in Laragh and become the Avonmore.

Nice jaunt today on some natural stuff.

Dcully · 07-12-2020 9:50pm

Not long back on the bike after fracturing ribs, got a nice 20k spin on the canal banks in yesterday, cold and mucky hard going in places, fitness has dropped a bit in the month off the bike but nice to be able to pedal pain free.

I will be avoiding any trails for a while though.
