Dublin Mountains Way 1 (DMW)

Did I tell you that I went hiking twice with a friend?

It was unbelievable ! The Dublin Mountains are extraordinary and offer a wonderful view over the Dublin Bay, it is gorgeous!
We did it over two days (two Saturdays, one in April and one in July). The DMW is about 40K walking, but we did more because we got lost a tiny bit each Saturday :). The first time, we did a circle of 4K twice without really noticing it... shame! It was good fun when we realized it!

You can start/finish in Tallaght or in Shankill. A map is a good thing to have, and don't be afraid to ask people around you as the start is not very clear in each town.

Let me show you few pictures:

My thought when we arrived here: Lord of the Ring.
