The perfect day climbing Scarr

June Bank Holiday Monday the perfect day to Climb Scarr mountain in Wicklow.

Our route took us via Lough Dan and Kanturch.

Scarr stands at 647 metres and lies south west of Roundwood.

Clear vision today. We could see over to Turlough Hill, Kippure and Vartry reservoir also in sight and of course could see out to sea.

But all the time sad that Tess is now too old for a day's hill-walking.

We covered 10.87 kilometres in four hours with stops for food and drink.

The perfect day.

Within three hours of completion it begins to rain.
