Was a bit hard to find the car park, so here's a link: https://goo.gl/maps/7fUSU1zuKJ92
Overall I liked the blue loop, easy walk, a few nice views and lots of forest. Also, I found it marked quite well.

No markings at any part resulted in a 3.5 hour cross country, bush bash to Powerscourt waterfall then a walk along the road to the car park. On the way we passed other lost folk and even dropped a couple back to the car park. They were 5km lost.
It could be very pleasant with a little help of trail markers.
