Hill of Tara, Friday 17th and Saturday 18th June 2011 3.30am on friday night

Hike this Sunday, 15th May.

We are heading down to the beautiful Lough Dan in Wicklow this Sunday for a bit of fresh air and endorphins :)) mmmm breathe in the goodness!

The Meeting Point is at 10am at the Roundwood Inn, Roundwood, we will carpool from here. Start point is 10-15mins away by car. Directions to get to Roundwood are here. If you get lost contact number is 085 7303865.

We will head up Scar Hill overlooking Lough Dan and continue on a loop back to Old Bridge. It will take roughly 2 and a half hours and is suitable to all fitness levels. If you have never been on a bootcamp hike is a great one to start with and a great way to start off your Sunday.

After the hike is finished you could take in the scenary of Wicklow or enjoy a nice bowl of soup in Roundwood.

All you need to do to let us know you are coming is book in through your profile.

What you will need:

1. First you need to book in to go to the hike (just so we have a good idea of numbers). Log in and click the Menu Option: “Book & View my Bootcamp Events”, click on the drop down Menu and select the Bootcamp Hike. That’s it, simple as that!
2. Waterproof hiking boots. Runners are not the best thing to wear...they don't provide sufficient support for your ankles and your feet may get wet!
3. Do not wear Jeans...Combats are great or any appropriate training bottoms. Avoid Cotton.
4. Bring a spare pair of socks just in case!
5. Wear a few light layers. That way you can remove a layer or two if you're too hot or add one if you're too cold!
6. It will be chilly so make sure to have hats, gloves, neck warmers and all the usual cold weather gear.
7. Bring along a tasty and nutritious  packed lunch with a hot drink (always an amazing reward when you take a break!) Can't beat a flask of tea or soup!
8. And a Backpack for all your bits!
9. Be ready for any weather waterproof jacket and pants if you have them just in case
10. Change of clothes in the car is great in case it rains.
    
    

(And maybe a Camera too if you're fond of taking the odd picture!)

__________________________________________________________

Please be punctual. If you are not there on time you could miss us! If you need a lift...let us know and we can send out an email to others going and perhaps arrange to share cars etc..

Hope to see you there,

Cheers
