Ice Skating

 To get the Festive Season off to a good start, an ice skating activity was de rigeur!! So the Troop headed en masse - DART timetable in hand - over to the RDS to strut their stuff on the ice.

Wide Game on Dollymount Beach

 Can't even begin to explain what's going on here!!

Gorge Walk

We tried a new activity yesterday - a gorge walk in the Shankhill River. Maybe 'walk' is not the right word as it involved wading, scrambling, jumping, some swimming and generally getting wet. A great turnout from the Troop on a chilly rainy day.

Many thanks to our friends, Michael Daly and Philip Flood (1st Meath, Dunboyne) for their assistance and for letting us in on this little secret in the first place!!

Winter Canoe League

This year's Winter Canoe League began with a flourish yesterday. The weather was mild and sunny and a slight breeze made for some very interesting surf on the beach at Dollymount. So, kayaks on roofracks and off. A great wet time had by all.

Wicklow Way (Marley Park to Curtlestown)

It was one of those 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' kind of ideas. Walk the whole of the Wicklow between now and next Spring - all 130 Kms in 6 or 7 easy stages. We began at Marlay Park, Rathfarnham, on Sunday, 21 October last with 20 brave souls setting off for Curtlestown Wood, a distance of approx 20 kms. Happy to report all survived and are looking forward to the next stages. Stage 2 will take place on Sunday, 2 December next, from Curtlestown Wood to Lough Tay.
