Glencar/Devil's Chimney Waterfall & Barytes Mines - Saturday 23rd November 2024

Very disappointed to have to postpone our Kings to the Mines hike today due to incoming storm Bert. The safety of all clients was the key driver in this decision.

Being at a loose end this morning I headed up the bog road with a couple of determined girls who were keen to get out in the fresh air

The effects of the overnight downpours soon became evident with the two main river crossings almost impassable. It confirmed the decision to postpone the scheduled hike

We did however manage to cross eventually by following the course upward to where it was deemed safe

Knee deep snow was encountered at the old Barytes mines not forgetting the very active waterfall displaying its unique upward flow

Looking forward to our rescheduled hike on the 18th January

A number of places are available

We would love to hear from you

This is an amazing hike and hopefully weather will be more accommodating
