TREKS: well marked, 2-4 hour treks. If you wish to extend your trek, start from the white anti clockwise (not climbing the 600 steps first, but from the car park along the miner's road). Once you meet the red trek, do the red trek until you find Wicklow Way yellow signs, turn back along the red and then continue to the last part of the white. This way you only have to climb up once and you get an extended trek of five hours and see more. (the start of the red trek is sand road, so not so nice)

GEAR NEEDED: It is colder up, so take some extra clothing. Water at least 1 liter per for 3 hours and 2 liters for 6 hours trekking. You do need to prepare for rain, at it always rains in Ireland :-). Tennis shows and jeans are not good, trekking shoes and water proof pants will make your life much more comfortable. Map and compass really not needed as treks well marked. Food needed (nuts, fruit, sandwich), even during 3 hours hike you will feel weak if you have nothing with you.

WOULD I RECOMMEND? Yes! And no need to do Wicklow Way, as WW is a lot about road. If you want to trek on nature trails, better to drive directly to Glendalough, get a B&B and just do day treks at Glendalough nature reserve. Much easier and better views.

Wicklow Mountains is one of the most beautiful and amazing places that I have been to. The view is just stunning and is possible to get a guided tour from Dublin to Wicklow Mountains for a reasonable place. This is a place I would like to visit again if I get chance to do it, its worth a second visit too.
