    Hi folks,

    Any recommenations for a hill walking destination for one night - the plan would be to head up early some Saturday morning, go for a hike and head out that night for a food and some drinks and hope to stay somewhere local.

    Preferrably not in Wicklow and ideally no more than 90 minutes from Dublin?

    Thanks in advance

    How about the Galtee mountains in Tipperary or the Knockmealdowns or Comeraghs? You'd be talking a 2 hour drive at least from Dublin but some nice mountains all the same. I have a lot of hikes done in those areas.

    If you want something a little closer then Blackstairs / Mt. Leinster would be an option. Stay overnight in Bunclody.

    The Coolies and Carlingford would make a nice weekend. Busy little place too, a couple of choices for food.

    True, but it does get VERY busy on Saturday nights in the town, and we've had problems recently getting tables in some of the restaurants / pubs there after walks in the area, as it seems to have become a bit of a stag/hen destination.
