I went for a stroll along a part of the Wicklow Way this afternoon, info here:

Railway sleepers have been laid along parts of the trail to protect the fauna

and to stop people disappearing into the bogs

The view is really nice:

Even on a Sunday afternoon it wasn't crowded:

    I can see me putting my camera up a tripod, popping the top on a DietCoke and just firing away as the light changes, what fun :Dthumb.gif

    Inetersting landscape. I like the second pic, the reflections are cool. Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Steve, it does get mucky, the sleepers save your footwear

    Thanks Andy, without a tripod I couldn't get a really high aperature ( and the climb was too steep to bring one) but they turned out ok, enjoy your trip.

    Thanks AJ, trying to walk over that ground without the sleepers would be tough,

    this is an account from two dutch people who walked all of the Way. A couple of the pics show how soft the ground is.
