The routes include terrain as varied as Malahide estuary, the Grand Canal at Robertstown, Glenmalure, the Broad Lough at Wicklow and Trooperstown Hill near Laragh. Most walks are circular; many can be accessed by public transport; most are no more than an hour and a half to two hours long. Few are in anyway demanding: most are walking routes for leisure strollers. Joss Lynam himself is in his eightieth year, so he now has to confine himself to walks such as these.
