Wicklow Way News

18th January 2010

The tarred laneway (Brown’s Lane) that leads from Coolafunshoge down to the bridge and main road northwest of Tinahely was very badly damaged due to recent weather conditions. There are ruts of around 2 meters along this section.

The grid reference for the lane is approximately T 021 744. Wicklow County Council are advising people that this section of the trail is unsafe and they are working on repairs at the moment.

It is likely that other laneways, forest roads and upland trails were damaged by the floodwaters on Friday, 15th January 2010.

Walkers should exercise particular care and be patient as repair work will take many weeks and possibly months in some places.

Due to harvesting and timber removal, the Wicklow Way has been diverted in the Luggala/Ballinastoe area due to the track being very wet and boggy. The short diversion runs from the sleepers at the base of the J.B. Malone memorial down to the car park and then left along the road to rejoin the Wicklow Way.

The diversion will be in place until the 9th of November 2009.
