  The help exchange is not hard, but does require you to spend your time in the mountains.

  - Wicklow Town on the Number 183 Bus (5 per day midweek, 6 weekend) for your shopping in ALDI (Rathnew), LIDL or Tesco (Wicklow Town) and local shops (Laragh and Rathdrum).
  
  - We arrange one weekly shopping trip to Wicklow Town.
