walking the canals

[Donal Quinn]

hey
this came up on another thread so i thought i might see if anyone has any ideas on itinerarys for walking the canals

i've done a few sections on the royal - phibsboro-clonsilla, maynooth-clonsilla and enfield-maynooth (that last one is 20k - bit too long!!)
and one on the grand - sallins-robertstown - really nice route - lots of interesting bits - although robertstown is not on any bus/rail route

the railway follows the canals for much of their route out of dublin so it makes it handy for getting there and back...

if anyone is interested in a nice 4k walk get the train to ashtown and walk to castleknock - really nice section and you walk over the M50 too which is cool

anyone done some of these or got other ideas for flat walks???
