We will be passing not visiting the named places except those marked # There are lots of loos on the trail. As a nod to National Hillwalking day on January 1st, we will walk uphill from Chapelizod to The Phoenix Park. I will keep moving and the pub stop at Harkins around 1 pm where Brendan Behan had his last pint will be approx 30 mins. I am a one-pint man so if you settle in for the evening I will have left.
Time will be about 5 hrs and approx 15/18 km there will be lots of interaction with public transport so if you feel you can’t walk that far you can leave or join safely any time you wish.
Leader Paul Egan – there is no need to ring, the walk will go ahead even if I am on my own.
If you are wondering about Part 2 we can go another day.
St. Patrick’s Cathedral
