Preparatory work will begin before Christmas on the Zig Zag access route to Carrawaystick in Glenmalure following the agreement on a MOU between Mountain Meitheal, the landowner and Wicklow Upland Councils and Wicklow Rural Partnership. The project which will hit the ground in earnest is an important development in upland conservation work. Mounatin Meitheal will repair and improve drainage, upgrade the treadway and construct a new footbridge. Interested? well watch our site for the 2007 programme.
This route is an important historical artifact constructed in the 19th Century as a deer stalkers route for the Parnell Family of Avondale Estate. The trail has excellent examples of buttress work which can also be seen at other locations in the valley.

With 26 VOLUNTEERS out today ( Saturday 2nd November) - not bad for November Eh! - we were able to get to grips with some serious work on the Zig Zags themselves. This is one of todays projects, rebuilding the corner with a stone pitched section and repairing the drain on the right which involved building a wall to retain the water and direct it off the trail. To see the section before the work look at the Mountain Meitheal photo stream.
One night we stopped at Seattle's Zig Zag Cafe for supper and cocktails. The food was great and the drinks -- Linda had a Water Lily and I an El Diablo (two of them, actually) -- superb. On the Pike Street Hill Climb.

This is the section of trail on the Zig Zags before we stone pitched it and "directed" the drain on the right.
To see what we did look at the next photo on the photo stream.
The Zig Zag Railway features three impressive sandstone viaducts, all of which can be seen in this view from the "No1 Viaduct" station lookout. Considering the railway was built between 1866 and 1869, it's quite an amazing feat looking back today!
The Zig Zag Railway closed their doors on the 17th of June, 2012 due to a lack of funds and a number of issues raised after a recent safety incident on the railway.
