    Has anyone got a map of the full Sli Charman route please?
    From Kilmichael in the north of the county through to Ballyhack down south.
    Thank you for any info you can give me.

    Thanks for the swift reply Alun, but looking for County Wexford, not Donegal.

    Google has turned up very little for me on this one unfortunately.
    Even speaking to representatives of Sports Active in Wexford Co Co has not yielded anything.
    I was posting here hoping to catch the eye of someone who has done it or been involved in someway with its establishment several years ago that may be able to shed some light for me.

    Fingers crossed.

    Ah, sorry about that, I Googled it, saw the irishtrails.ie link and just copied it without looking properly! No idea why it turns up that walk in the search, it also does it in the internal Google Search on irishtrails.ie website itself.

    It doesn't start at Kilmichael point, but on the road to Kilmichael from Clogga

    That's super Carawaystick, thank you
    Do you have any further information on the rest of the route?
    Is it still signposted on the trail?
    Thanks

    Google maps shows a few signs as I followed it down to Castletown and Tara Hill.

    I'd say it goes down to Kilmichael point, along the beach to Kilpatrick and CLones Strand.
    It'll probably have to come inland to the Golden anchor to cross the river.

    After that I'd say it goes along the coast again to Courttown.

    There's this sign near the Hook

    Try Barry Dolby of EastWest Mapping in Clonegal Co. Carlow. He produces and sells guides to walks.

    I asked Barry about it a couple of months ago, nothing for the northern part of the route unfortunately, sound guy though.

    There is an old rusty sign nearby, pointing south, indicating a distance of 221km. Is it really that long?


  • Registered Users Posts: 103 ✭✭j0hn1


    Makes sense, its the full length of the coastline from the border with Co Wicklow to the border with Co Waterford (or close enough to the borders)

    I reckon its 189 by road. You'ld get a fair few extra km by the Raven or from Rosslare to St Helens, and about Our Ladies Island.

    I'd say a call to Wexford CoCo should get you in touch with someone who might know more.

    I tried that and didn't get very far, if anyone has better luck please let me know

    I doubt there's a map as such. stick as close to the coast as possible, come inland for bridges over estuaries.
