Day Trip to Bray
Walkers to purchase Day return to Greystones @ Newry Station and catch 8.57 train to Connolly Station.
This train arrives @ Connolly at 10.05 and we catch the Dart out to Bray at 10.40 arriving at Bray at 11.25
The Cliff walk takes about 2 hours and if we start at 12.00 we should be in Greystones at 2.00. Break in Greystones for meal.
There are trains leaving Greystones at 15.00 and 15.30 and arrive at Connolly at 15.53 and 16.23 respectively in time for the 16.50 north.
Those walking back to Bray can catch the 17.05 or 17.30 at Bray arriving at Connolly at 17.43 and 18.26 respectively in time for either the 18.50 or 20.50 trains north.
The Coastal walk is on a firm path so trainers are acceptable footwear here. A variation on the walk which includes Bray Head is on offer to any B or C+ walkers but any walker intending to do this walk must wear their walking boots.
Finally this trip is weather dependent so all walkers should check the web site on Monday evening.
