Bray Camino 

Start 2023 with a great challenge that will keep you fit throughout this winter!

The Bray Camino is a 32k route along the coastline of Dublin Bay which is one of the official Celtic Camino routes in Ireland. Please note that this is a free event and that it is up to you to inform yourself about updates and that this walk is completely at your own risk!

I want to celebrate my health and fitness by taking on a challenge for my birthday and I’d love to have as many like-minded friends join me on this challenge.

People who – like me – embrace a healthy lifestyle and who want to take responsibility for their health. People who just love being outdoors regardless of the weather and love great chats about health and well-being. People who don’t want to accept that aging automatically means everything is going downhill. People who like to challenge themselves every now and again. People who are not dogmatic about healthy eating but prefer to eat well to feel well.

5. Step: Get prepared – check what you might need to be able to stick to this long walk. Do you have a suitable backpack, organise drinks and food as there aren’t many places where you can shop along the route? Do you have proper shoes that are comfortable to walk on concrete on? Do you have a first-aid kit, especially blister plasters? Please note, it is your responsibility to be best equipped.  The group will not wait for you – especially if you are not prepared!
6. Step: If you don’t want to walk the whole route, have a look at the map and decide where you want to walk. Check this leaflet for the distances along the route.
