Report

I did The Blackstairs End to End route Soouthbound on Sep 3rd 2023 unsupported carrying 1L of water and some snacks. I began at the Halfway House Pub and heading southbound (approx 31.4km/1600m gain) to the Ballinalor/Drummond Rd junction. Difficult route with lots of elevation gain. Very wet and boggy in a lot of places especially around Mt Leinster, much more so now then when I did the Mt Leinster Challenge/FKT a few months ago. The route overall is not very runable.
