Sutton to Howth Walk

On Sunday 26th April, we'll be doing a walk from Sutton to Howth.

Meeting Location
Outside Sutton Station at 12:16. We're meeting outside the main entrance. If you're coming from Dublin then cross the tracks using the footbridge. If you're coming from Howth, then you're already on the right side. The suggested train to catch leaves Dublin Connolly at 11:57 that gets into Sutton at 12:16. It actually starts in Greystones at 10:58 and stops at all stations en route so feel free to get on at the most convenient station for you.

Route Description
This walk is from Sutton to Howth via a less well-trodden route and then in Howth we will visiting a few places that are off the beaten track. At one point we will be walking across a beach so your footwear may get a bit sandy.The total length of the walk is around 9km. The first part of the walk is fairly flat but the second part will involve climbing a small hill.

If people are interested we could stop at a café or pub during or after walk. Or feel free to bring snacks as we could have a short break at some point. Or if people wish, we could go for Howth's famous fish and chips at the end of the walk.

Feel free to come on the walk even if you haven't been to a meet up before. This is a great way to meet new people and see new places.
