4 Days Bikepacking Ireland's Ancient Mountain Path - The Wicklow Way. A Sensless Adventure

My whole life I have been haunted by a man in yellow. Hiding behind trees, lost in ravines, jeering me from clouded peaks. His haughty stride and easy amble, held aloft by bright stick, fully sustained by a simple backpack. I am jealous. The Man in Yellow points north and he points south. He does so without too much care, accepting no responsibility for travellers left astray. His head never lifts to check. In December 2023 I decided to finally go tête à tête with Monsieur Jaune on the 28th day of the month. 7 days after the winter solstice. With the sun rising at 8am and gone again by 4pm. It was senseless. The 130km stretch through the length of Wicklow encompassing the Wicklow Mountains National Park is designed as a hiking trail. It is sometimes visited by hardy Mountain Bikers. As far as I know nobody has bikepacked it on a normal bike. And for good reason. It is hardly something I would boast about. It is not a good idea. The combination of the this senseless bad idea intrigued me. I had no answer as to if I could complete it. So I had to find out.
