Route card for Balally Cubs Larch Hill to Hellfire and back (back via Cruagh wood and Tibradden probably)



Route/Objective: Balally Cubs Larch Hill to Hellfire and back (back via Cruagh wood and Tibradden probably)
UPDATE/report: Band of rain moving up across the country. Fell on far side of Wicklow hills from us. We saw a little mist. Warm throughout hike. Beautiful sun and blue skys at end of hike. 20 cubs and 3 scouters. Started walking @10:30. Made good time to Hellfire. Single file on road watching for cars at start. Then onto quieter roads and wood walk. Short breaks to take on water and take off coats/jumpers/leggings - cubs overheating once we started climbing. At turn to Lamberts lane we overshot a little. It's an entrance to horse stud/farm. We were sheltered all the way until the top. A bit windy and misty rain. We had lunch in the trees. Visited the Hellfire club. It was about 12:30? so we went back shorter route (same route we took over). Back at Larch Hill just before 2:30. All kids collected by 12:45.
