Great Sugar Loaf, Long Route (1st Attempt)



Date: 20/07/2008
Area: Great Sugar Loaf, Wicklow, Ireland
Maps used: OSI Sheet 56
Weather: Mild and clear, but cloudy and windy at times

Route Description: Started from the car park of the GAA club (O244158) and headed west towards a track along the club. Veered north / northwest for a while and then west again towards the north-south ridge that leads to the Great Sugar Loaf. Moved off the track and couldn't find it again, so because of the high gorse and its thorns decided to turn back and try another day.

Duration: 2 hours
Distance: 2km
Total Ascent: 190m
