I am in the first week of my trip and having a wonderful time, of course. We are driving from Dublin to Glendalough, and then on to points south after our stay there. We are not interested in visiting Powerscourt, so I'm thinking about going via Blessington...? Just wondering if one "Gap" is more scenic than the other, or if weather makes any difference...?
The Dublin Airport situation sounds awful and I'm looking forward to getting out into the country. Wish me luck!
Thanks for taking the time to check in on the forum while you are in Ireland. Both Wicklow and Sally Gap are rugged and scenic. Weather (such as fog) will always make a difference. Near Blessington is Russborough House. Very interesting historic house with wonderful plaster ceilings and paintings.
