Powerscourt Ridge (IMRA) 6th Nov

Post by johnd »

I'm hoping to give this race a go this year
More details on the IMRA website here: http://www.imra.ie/events/view/tab/details/id/812/

Route starts in Crone wood, goes across Powerscourt Ridge, up Djouce Mountain and back again

For anyone (like me) who bought new shoes for the cross country this could be a good time to use them :D

If i can organise a babysitter for first half of Sat - would be on for this... i think!

However, just reading a forum comment

"Are you familiar with the route? It will not be marked so you will either need to recce it beforehand or else be a competent navigator."

Has anyone done this before?

How about going up next weekend Frank?
We could head up early Saturday or Sunday and head off ourselves, that map on the IMRA site appears to mark the different trails around the area so with a bit of patience we should be able to find our way around
I'd be on for another 8am start if you want, just let me know which day suits you better
Brian / Tom / anyone else interested?
