The Wicklow Way in spring

Tess left the car park at Glendalough at 11.48, leaving Brockagh Mountain to our west and then heading for Scarr Mountain where we went east towards Ballinafunshoge. Lough Dan to our west and Vartry Reservoir to the east.

Looking at Vartry Reservoir on such a beautiful spring day it's difficult to think about what's going on in the Central Criminal Court.

En route we met a Christian Brother, walking in the opposite direction, who taught me in Synge Street Primary School in second and fourth class. An inspiring man.

Close to the end  of the walk, Kippure was visible off in the distant north.

Saw a kestrel.

We arrived at our destination, with Djouce looking down on us, at 16.25.

A stunning spring day in Wicklow.
