The start of the walking bit

I started from my B & B in Dublin, and walked South towards the start of the Wicklow Way. I wasn't going to walk the whole thing, only as far as Glendalough. I went through a soggy Rathfarnham, saw a soggy looking castle in passing (didn't go in), then walked on.

Eventually, I got to Marlay Park, which is both where the Wicklow Way starts, and where it started raining REALLY heavily. So, like all experienced walkers, I hid under the noticeboard, wondering what I was letting myself in for. It's odd how the steps look dry in this picture. Honestly, it was pouring down!

Anyway, I eventually did set off properly...
