| Max | 25 attendees |

Location: Wicklow National Park,
The lake is located in the Wicklow National Park, about 10km from the famous Monastery site of Glendalough. This heart-shaped lake formed through glacial erosion, which left a steep 200m amphitheatre-like high cliff on the North-Eastern side of Tonelagee.
There are two popular day hikes to reach Tonelagee summit and Lough Ouler viewpoint. The first and most challenging trail near Glenmacnass waterfall. It includes a river crossing, a constant 10 per cent slope through heathery moorlands (often muddy) to a first viewpoint and a challenging final stretch through large boulders. A lot shorter, the second trail goes from Wicklow Gap and is definitely the most accessible way to see Lough Ouler.
It's a Challenging hike, about 6km long and 500M elevation gain, Full winter gear required as feeling temperature could be as low as - 4C.

Location: Bray Co Wicklow
Our next Hillwalking trip is on Sunday 19th November at 8.30am to 4:30pm we will be going from Greystones to Bray.
One of the highlights of walking in Wicklow. This linear walk takes you from Bray to Greystones along the stunning coastal path. The path is well maintained and you can return by light rail (DART) to the start point. Greystones has plenty to offer the hungry walker after beautiful views and a range of marine wildlife. From Bray start, there is a path leading to the top of Bray Head offering stunning views of the Irish Sea, The Wicklow Mountains and Bray.
This is a very enjoyable walk in a spectacular coastal setting linking Bray and Greystones. It brings you around the side of Bray Head above the railway line and rocky coastline on a path which is a bit rough in places, with a steep climb at the Bray end. Views both up and down the coast are breath-taking.
Please keep an eye on the weather forecast and bring and wear appropriate gear and clothing.
