From our highest point we’ll take in spectacular views of the Wicklow Mountains all around us as the sun rises - just like Ireland’s very own North Pole! Each trekker will receive a free Santa suit at registration to help them keep cosy and warm on the morning too!
When ready, we will begin the return leg of our hike and make our way back to the town of Enniskerry where we can enjoy a hearty breakfast with lots of hot tea and coffee..
