-
- I have seen the Hostel at Glendalough, which looked very good (but was full
- up).
-
- I stayed one night at Glenmalure, which I would recommend to anyone.
-
- We came down from Lugnacuilla at twilight, and walked a couple of miles down
- the glen to the hostel, which is open at weekends only, but is just great if
- you didnt know where you were going to stay.
-
- Facilities are basic. Bunk beds, good warm sleeping bags, good toilets, no
- electricity, open fire (brill), and the only running water is the Avonbeg
- river outside (but being a fast mountain river, with no evidence of
- sheep or cattle up on the hills, its safe enough to drink, and er, wash in
- once you have warmed it up a bit.
