Incident to report (yes/no)?
(If yes, complete Accident / Medical Incident Report Form)
Description A 5-hour trip with 4 hours on the island - to include a tour and history of buildings in the harbour area, a walk to the highest point of Lambay, and a barbecue with refreshments before leaving. It's an easy and short "C" walk. Photos are not permitted indoors.
Typical C Walk - no river crossings
Gear Recommendations As appropriate for the weather. We're in an open boat, 30 minutes each way, and it may be cold & windy at sea. Otherwise, comfortable walking shoes to allow for wet fields. Consider taking drinks/snacks, as the barbecue may not start until 2:30pm or so.
Meeting Point Details/Link
Alongside White's Laundry in Malahide Marina - at 11:15 for an 11:30 departure by boat. If travelling by car, there is ample meter parking at €1.50/hour (cash or card) close to White's - allow for delays on the return. By Dart, the 9:40am at Glenageary (9:45 Dun Laoghaire, 9:52 Blackrock) arrives in Malahide at 10:38. It's 15 minutes from the station to White's, leaving time to pick up tea/coffee on the way. There is a later 10:00am option at Glenageary arriving at 10:58, but that's cutting it fine if there are delays.
Any issues or questions, please call Paul at 085 128 7216.
