Starting on the opposite side of Sugarloaf Mountain near the village of Kilmacanogue, this route will take around 2 and a half hours at the most, depending on pace.
The length of this walk makes it more challenging than the short walk and there are a few more rugged quartzite slopes, but the gradients aren’t too different and the rocky scramble at the summit is still the same.
Parking
This one is a bit more difficult to find than the shorter route. Turn off the N11 into Kilmacanogue and make your way to Fitzsimons Park GAA ground. There’s a small car park here and alongside the GAA ground is a path that marks the beginning of the trail. We will meet here (car park) at the earlier time of 10am
I will have some light snacks with me so make sure to have a backpack... Wear suitable clothing, especially if it's wet. Rain is forecast. Look forward to seeing you on Sunday...
