Route Description:
Garmin of the Route is available at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/99375471 Route is an anticlockwise loop going up a to the upper car park and then using a brand new trail through some felled forest to meet the Kilmashogue fire road. It then ascends a short section of the Wicklow Way before crossing on a trail below the Fairy Castle summit and follows the broken fence line and track to pass close to the summit of 2 rock mountain. You then descend on a steep and rough trail along the forest edge before turning left at the "Yellow Man" walking sign taking fire road back to the crossprads at the top of the tarmac road. From there you then descend for 400m on the rocky "Boneshaker" track with the forest on your left before turning left and Carefully Crossing the new MTB tracks (we will have a marshal here) and descending to the finish which will utilize a new track parallel to the walking track ( same as you will use at the start)before the short forest descent and tarmac section to the slightly uphill finish close to the entrance barrier.
