Fantastic hike today led by Kevin O’Loughlin. Started from Wicklow Way North Car Park, Luggala, Sheepbanks Bridge, Coffin Stone, Djouce, down the side of White Hill and back to the cars. Managed to avoid a fair bit of the sleepers. There were 17 hikers including two new members Gillian and Michael. Drum up was beside the river en route to sheepbanks bridge ( see photos). The ferns are growing very quickly.

Grainne brought the tick repellant solution which was suggested in the recent post and we are optimistic that it was successful. See the photo of the track with stats below.
