So the BF decided that he was going to take me up The Great Sugar Loaf . It was a stunning morning and a drive down to Wicklow sounded perfect. My mom is from Wicklow so I guess it feels like a home away from home.
We arrived at the car park and it started to rain š¦ but Michael is always prepared for anything Mother Nature has in store for us. So hiking boots on and rain gear packed and off we went.
I have to be honest when we started off my momentum was low and I was pushing myself too fast and I wasnāt enjoying it. Once himself told me to slow down, it wasnāt a race and to just enjoy the journey, I did start to have fun.
As we got closer to the top we met a dad with his little boy who was crying as his hands were cold. Michael gave his gloves to the little boy and dad was very happy. It was very cold and it had started to snow.
The scrambling part for me was my favorite and my wall climbing at Awesome Walls definitely payed off.
Once at the top the views were amazing and Iām not just talking about my gorgeous BF š but having a 360 degree of Wicklow was superb. But a cloud was coming in fast and we wanted to get back down.
We came down another way and when Michael suggested it, I genuinely thought he was joking…… he wasnāt, and off we went, hailstones hitting our faces and it felt like the wind was going to blow me off the side of the Sugar Loaf. We pretty much jumped our way down through loose stones and it was the best fun I had all day. Definitely the best way down.
Once we got back to the car Michaels gloves were waiting for him. We were both super happy that we helped the little guy out.
Hot chocolate, coffee and Chocolate fudge cake after was a welcome warm treat in Plucks . Great afternoon out. Looking forward to more of Michaels Tours.
