I remember the blackberry picking well Joan. Where would you even find a bush now, except deliberately cultivated in a private garden.
When I was in my teens there was a group of us who used to walk a lot during the school holidays. We would get the 77 bus to Tallaght and walk from there over the Military Road to Enniskerry. Other times, we would go in the other direction, and get the 44 to Enniskerry and walk back to Tallaght. We used to sing as we walked, it was great craic.
Once when we were walking through Powerscourt we were singing when suddenly other voices joined in. Then we saw a scout troupe from the UK. They were camping there. So we went over and had a long sing song with the boys and the scout master. The delay meant we were still walking through powerscourt in the dark. Still we got back to Enniskerry for the 44 bus home.
