Djouce Mountain




Date: 14/02/2009
Area: Djouce Mountain, Wicklow, Ireland
Maps used: OSI Sheet 56

Route Description: Started at the car park at O213149. Followed the track through the forest heading south until reaching a stream at around O206114. Headed more or less northwest using the stream as a handrail on the right. Walked almost 2km until the Wicklow Way and turned left (southwest) towards Djouce. Walked another 2.5km until reaching a fence that leads to the summit. Decided not to go to the summit as it was late and it would be dark soon. Returned to the car park via the same route.

Total Ascent: 400m
