Route:
This year, in a departure from the norm, We're planning a "Hillwalk" which doesn't feature a hill!! Staying local, the plan is to take the train to Donabate, enter Newbridge house grounds and do an anti-clockwise circuit of the short loop. From there we head to Kilcrea via the south gate and complete the inner estuary walk via Lissenhall and Garton Estate. Back to the village then for refreshments at Malahide Cricket Club. No date has been yet fixed as the estuary circuit is tidal dependent but it will be around Easter time. Distance approx. 11k |
Recommendations:
You should be in good health and used to walking. Wear suitable clothing, warm socks and comfortable footwear (boots with ankle support preferably). Take account of the prevailing weather conditions and, if necessary, bring a change of clothing/footwear for the return journey. Sunblock may also be required (with a bit of luck!) Carry a backpack with liquid and a light lunch for one stop. The organisers will carry a first aid kit but it is advisable to carry a couple of plasters and blister pads. |
