Maulin around from Crone Wood

If anybody is looking for some fresh air and 2.5hrs of exercise.... then you'll get great value out of the walk over the top of Maulin, this assumes that you are based in Dublin, Ireland.
To get there, drive south from Dublin to Enniskerry, go through Enniskerry and follow the signs for Powerscourt waterfall. Go past the waterfall entrance and park in the Crone Wood Carpark about 2km later.
The easiest route is to follow the forest path to the left... just saty on this track and you will rise up and follow the ridge towards the Powerscourt waterfall.
Follow this track all the way to the stone wall and then turn right... now follow this easy track to the top of Maulin and savour the great views north to Lambay Island or east Greystones (it's great for the kids geography lessons!).
From the summit, carry on and descend to the north west. At the forest line, you'll find a gate and stile. Just follow the most used looking forest tracks until you find yourself back at the car park.
It's about 7km long and took us 3:10min although we did stop for lunch. Had 6yr, 8yr and 11yr hikers with us and all went well.

Bruno, the movie is just pathetic

Time for a rant.... I get what Sacha Baron Cohen was trying to do with the movie Bruno but the sad fact is, when the subject matter (z-lister celebrity culture) is so pathetic to start with then it's difficult to find it funny.

I went to see the movie last night and came away wishing I hadn't bothered
