  • List of Irish Mountain Passes
    List of Irish Mountain Passes The following document is a list of mountain passes and similar features extracted from the gazetteer, Irish Landscape Names. Please consult the full document (also available at Mountain Views) for the abbreviations of sources, symbols and conventions adopted. The list was compiled during the month of June 2020 and comprises more than eighty Irish passes and cols, including both vehicular passes and pedestrian saddles. There were thousands of features that could have been included, but since I intended this as part of a gazetteer of place-names in the Irish mountain landscape, I had to be selective and decided to focus on those which have names and are of importance to walkers, either as a starting point for a route or as a way of accessing summits. Some heights are approximate due to the lack of a spot height on maps. Certain features have not been categorised as passes, such as Barnesmore Gap, Doo Lough Pass and Ballaghaneary because they did not fulfil geographical criteria for various reasons which are explained under the entry for the individual feature. They have, however, been included in the list as important features in the mountain landscape.

  • Spring Gathering 2020 Hosted by Wayfarers Hiking Club
    Spring Gathering 2020 Hosted by Wayfarers Hiking Club Friday March 27th – Sunday March 29th 2020 The Wayfarers Hiking Club 1970-2020 The Wayfarers Hiking Club is this year celebrating 50 years of hiking and as part of our year of celebrations we are proud to have been selected as the host club for the Mountaineering Ireland’s Spring Gathering 2020. Our founding member Mary Solan led the hike which evolved into the Wayfarers Hiking Club in October 1970, from this small beginning we have become one of the larger hiking clubs in the region with 240 members. Members come from across Dublin and further afield, four hikes are organised each weekend varying in difficulty and duration to suit all of our member’s abilities. The club members are environmentally aware, we follow the leave no trace principles, we encourage carpooling and are conscious of our responsibility in the area of conservation. Club members are encouraged to undertake Mountain Skills training and some of our most experienced club members have developed a two day Navigation training programme which they deliver to members. The club plans regular trips away over the long weekends in Ireland and celebrates Christmas with a whiskey hike and a party. The club barbeque every August in Glenmalure is one of the highlights of the summer. Many of our members take part in challenge hikes throughout the year and the annual Blackstairs Challenge hike which is organised by the club is held in May each year in Co. Carlow. The Wayfarers have put together a hiking programme for the Spring Gathering weekend which includes some of our favourite hikes in the West Wicklow area.

    Turlough Hill Pumped Storage Scheme Co. Wicklow Ireland ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BOARD BORO SOLATHAIR AN LE1CTREACHAIS Power from the Mountains When the Electricity Supply Board moved ontotheTurlough Hill site in 1968 and began its first work on a project which was to be the largest civil engineering operation ever undertaken in the country, it moved into an area not only of great scenic beauty but also one of great historical significance. Turlough Hill stands in the Wicklow Gap four miles from Glenda- lough where the hermit St. Kevin founded a monastic city in the 6th century-a centre of learning and pilgrimage to which Irish Kings brought gifts of gold. The increase in importance of Glendalough as a centre of pilgrimage had its effect on the Wicklow Gap where The upoer reservoir under construction with an inset showing the intake structure. the original tracks and trails were improved by the Leinster Monarchs and carefully paved with stone into a fair imitation of a The control room. Roman road - now known as St. Kevin's Road. A portion of this road crosses the ES B site and is now excavated and open to view. The pilgrimage to Glendalough survived from these early times down to the famine year of 1847. Long before construction of theluriough Hill scheme the Wicklow Gap was noted as a source of power. As long ago as 1800, large scale mining began in this area for copper, lead and zinc. These workings began on the Lough Nahanagan side of Camaderry Mountain and were called the Luganure Mines. Today ruins of miners' cottages and large tips of mine tailings can be seen in the Glendassan Valley on the approach toTurlough Hill from Glendalough.

  • Turlough Hill Power Station
    Welcome to Turlough Hill ESB was established in 1927 as a corporate body in the Republic of Ireland under the Electricity (Supply) Act 1927. As a strong, diversified, vertically integrated utility, ESB operates right across the electricity market: from generation, through transmission and distribution to supply. In terms of generation, ESB currently operates 7 thermal stations, 12 windfarms and 10 hydro stations in the Republic of Ireland, one of which is Turlough Hill. Turlough Hill, Ireland’s only pumped storage power station, is located approximately 60km south of Dublin City in the Wicklow Mountains. Construction commenced in 1968, and the station became fully operational in 1974. The station generates up to 292MW during peak demand periods by releasing water from its upper reservoir and allowing it to flow through its four turbines into a lower YEARS reservoir. During periods of lower demand 40 the water is pumped back to the upper reservoir ready to be used again. In 2004, Turlough Hill became the Hydro Control Centre (HCC) for the entire ESB hydro fleet Turlough Hill which contains 19 generators in total.
