Club Outing – Sunset at Dun Laoghaire

5 April 2026 | Club Outings

On Saturday 28th March the sun was due to set just before 19.00 but the weather had been a bit erratic, clouds everywhere, high and low. Then all of a sudden, a suitable percentage of low and high clouds were forecast. It was all go.

Six of us met at the pier head, as decided, and headed off down the pier with all the other delighted people enjoying the lovely evening.

The sunset was magnificent with glorious yellow, orange and into a deep and intense red. Most of us got almost to the end of the pier. The homeward journey was much longer as many photographic occasions presented, and it was stop and go the whole way back.

It was quite dark when we reached the pier head with all the lovely lights of Dun Laoghaire and Sandycove sparkling in the night sky. It was too late to have coffee and the night air had whetted out appetites so off we went home for dinner. A most enjoyable evening.
