Where is the Dry Bridge? I've never heard of it

Is anyone else having problems with the meteor network today in clonmel? I haven't had any signal all day.

I have no meteor or O2 coverage or saorview. Electricity ok though.

Drove back from Dublin this evening, got off the motorway at Bennetsbridge. Loads of trees down and lots of wind damage to be seen. Worst storm in this area for some years I would think.

Our Meteor's been gone all evening too. Worst storm I can remember. Hope people are heeding warnings and staying put.

Just got electricity back - gone since 2pm. I know the ESB workers are well paid but rather them than me out there today/tonight. I'm very grateful anyways.

God you really had it bad! And here was me complaining about having no phone signal! Here's hoping there won't be a busy maternity ward around November 12th!

Same as except for the water. Electricity came back around midnight. Kids and I spent the evening huddled under duvets playing cards by candlelight! Went to bed at ten because it was too cold to stay up. Woke up this morning to a sprinkling of snow. The weather is mad!

Anyone know of some land near the town,bypass area,, where one could wander with two JRT?
Not for hunting just to let them roam about a field or two. Or even know of someone who would give permission to me to use there land here n there.

The old Fethard railway line through the wilderness, not a field but plenty of space to rummage around and have fun.

Never been up there, must have a look. Been using the front of the racecourse but it is quite popular and larger dogs off leash I don't really trust.

snipey

i wouldn't agree going over to the old railway line because you will meet more than dogs you wouldn't trust, i'd suggest bringing your dogs up to the new TRBDI site at the top of the bypass,

dahat

Enter on the roundabout or the entrance on the Cahir Road?

Agree, it's too dodgy down there!

Venture up there, middle of the day the best time, lots of people go to feed ducks at the entrance. Nothing to fear in the middle of the day or early morning, it's a pity that so many people are so fearful of a perfectly safe and magical place that's an absolute paradise. By the way the Wilderness gets it's name from this very place.

Xenophile

Forgot to say go there and see for yourself and do not be intimidated by the views of fearful people. I have never heard of any unsavoury incident there and I live and work quite near the place. Would welcome your feedback!

Definitely go there, I often walk my dog up there and its a great spot as was mentioned.

I also used to work near there and on my lunch id take a walk up to look at the ducks to get some fresh air! very calming after a load of stress:p

snipey

even during the day scangers drinking on the old platform,scangers on scamblers and so on,beautiful walk from the Cahir road side,just mind the electric fences

I regret that this post is pure scaremongering and if it is not contradicted it will put this wonderful area out of bounds for citizens of Clonmel who have enjoyed this wonderful amenity for generations.

Xenophile, I was one of the many people who enjoyed this area(the Wildies !!) for about 20years .I lived locally and I would say that I was out there 2 days out of every week as a youngster and even more frequently when I started training dogs in my 20's.
A beautiful spot.
However, what Snipey says above is completely true. I drove in to the lake/pond on Sunday with the intention of walking the dogs and was met with 2 guys on scramblers(one was about 10 years of age) and the amount of glass and general detritus that was in the area was appalling.
You may not agree with Snipey or me, but that does not mean what we say is untrue.
