Can do, will do, Glendoo (to Knocknagun)...and straddle two counties.

Details

Straddle two counties before you straddle the bar stool.

All you can eat peat on this one, so bring gaiters if you got 'em!

This walk includes Knocknagun (555m), and Glendoo (586m) on the Wicklow-Dublin border.

Knocknagun (gaelic: Cloch na gCon meaning 'the Rock of the Hounds'), a rocky outcrop (tor)

Great views en route of Tibradden, Fairy Castle, Knockree Hill, Maulin, Tonduffs, Kippure, the Lough Brays, and 'the Big Smoke' (i.e. Dublin).
