'I'll love you, dear, I'll love you
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street,
'I'll love you till the ocean
Is folded and hung up to dry
And the seven stars go squawking
Like geese about the sky.
(WH Auden)
One of a series of three caches on the Lugduff summits. These can
be reached from several angles but best approached using one of the
hikes suggested above.
The short circuit suggested above includes one of the most popular
hiking circuits in the whole of the Garden County.
It is worth noting that if the longer route is taken then stunning
views down the Vale of Glendasan, the Vale of Glendalough and the
Glenmalure Valley would all be available in the one hike, weather
permitting of course! It should also be possible to view most of
the Wicklow mountains from at least one angle which makes this one
of the best long hikes in all the Garden County. The long route is
over 20k with total ascent in excess of 1000m so allow 6/7 hours to
hike this and to include all of the caches in that area.
Do not start the trek without
all the proper mountain rain gear, waterproof boots and the
guidance material, compass, map, GPSr with mapping etc.
Please note that all parts of this cache are hiked at your own
risk. The cache owner takes no responsibility of any sort for any
reason including accidents or
mishaps.
Please be aware that cars parked
in areas close to walking trails are vulnerable and they can be
vandalised or stolen. Unfortunately this is an ongoing problem
which is extremely difficult to solve, so there is a risk involved.
I have heard recently that many hiker groups are parking at the
nearest population centres and getting taxis to and from the start
points at very little expense.
Please observe the country code to the best of your ability. Local
landowners often generously allow access to upland areas across or
through parts of their private property. Please, please be
conscious of this and return the courtesy by keeping all gates
closed, immediately and not on your way back!. Please use the gates
where appropriate but if you have to climb over them then use the
hinged side ONLY.
Please do not cause any damage of any sort to fences or barriers
along the way.
