Sunrise Walk, January 1st, 2023
Get your New Year off to a healthy start by joining Footfalls on a unique Wicklow walking experience to see the sunrise over the Irish Sea for the very first time in 2023.
Registration will be in the carpark at the back of Lynham’s hotel in Laragh Village Eircode, A98 K576.
Please Note: The hotel will be closed, so there will be no bathrooms available.
Level: Moderate (13 km – 495 m Ascent)
Registration: @ 05.45 am, departing at 06.00 am (sharp).
Route: Leaving Lynham’s Hotel, the walk takes us out of the village and into Ballard Forest. From here, the route takes us onto Trooperstown Hill, hopefully in time to witness the first sunrise of 2023.
Our descent takes us into Trooperstown Wood, where we will follow a short section of the Avonmore Way and back to Laragh village in time for a well-earned breakfast in Lynam’s Hotel.
Cost: €30 per person, including breakfast. Book Here
