Up beyond Bohernabreena (1 Viewer)

[Moods For Mallards]

It's real nice up there. One of the less talked-about gems for spending a few hours at a weekend, going for walk, etc. The heather makes it seem slightly unreal, and it's just beautifully open.
I went for a stroll there on Sunday, and although I'm from reasonably nearby and have driven up there many times, it was one of the moments where you realise that people aren't completely wasting their time by coming to Ireland for a holiday.

 

[cpr]

I want to go up there this weekend coincidentally enough, having spent Saturday and Sunday out in Bray I realised that I don't see enough of my own country!Hurray for Ireland- it's bleedin lovely.

Up by the reservoir? I used to play gaelic football for St Anne's in Bohernabreena and did a fair bit of messing up there. Beautiful spot.

Up beyond Anne's, yeah, past the cemetery.
There's some kind of mast on a hill, and a path that seems to go all the way there for a long distance. It's the perfect path for the cover of an album called "The Road Home" by Tommy Flemming or similar.

Kippure mast. Thats miles past Bohernabreena. Where Vinnie is talking about it nicer - down by Glenasmole (turn right at the top of the hill past the graveyard instead of going straight on). That whole area is deadly. And to think its so near to a kip like Tallaght.

The wicklow mountains rule!

It doesn't matter, it's past Bohernabreena. That's how I'd tell someone to get there.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

Also, that's the Dublin mountains, no? Which join up with the Wicklow mountains. But it's all hills, I suppose.

no, you go from Dublin to Wicklow around the Noel Lemass monument. Thats a few miles before Kippure.

Really? Political geography is a great mystery to me sometimes. To me, the world is an oxbow lake in which we are all tadpoles.

Anyway, a nice neck of the woods. All you faraway Thumped northsiders who think you've seen it all with your Howth Heads and your roads to Belfast - think again.

49A

 

[Buzzo]

The fuckin monumental failure of a bus route that is the 49/a was a significant factor in my decision to move out of home so young.

You'd spend an hour waiting for a bus that then took an hour (of getting shouted at and having things thrown at you) to get anywhere. Stress factor a million.

It's a rubbish bus. 4 15s for every 49 was around about the ratio at Templeogue Bridge.

 

[Buzzo]

Yup. The post-Mortens poshos had way more buses to choose from. I used to get on a 15b out of town in the hope of catching a 75 in Knocklyon. Can you imagine? A 75! That's the fucking real ghostbus right there, and it was more reliable than the 49.


Hey gang, Really interesting conversation about bus routes over here! EVERYBODY'S WELCOME!

The 150 meant nothing to me. Too meandering.

so, what's the worst bus route in dublin? seems like there are several contenders.

 

[classic seanc]

Anyone who says they've been on an 18 is a damn liar.

I used it for years. Very unreliable.

favourite defunct route of that area was the 65A

Crampton Quay - The Embankment.

Six buses a day.

Anyone else know it?

17a.
Kilbarrack to Finglas via Coolockland.
For proper mentalers.

Agreed. And always packed.
I would not be surprised if smoking is still allowed on that route.
I mean who's gonna tell them?
