Recommend a stretch of the Wicklow Way this time of the year for novice walkers.

Hi Folks.

I’m hoping to do a stretch of the Wicklow Way next week.
How do I go about finding out the weather conditions for each part?

I would be walking with three good but novice walkers.
I don’t want to end up on the news for wasting rescuers time, or worse?!?

The plan would be:
Drive from North Dublin.
Park up somewhere on the Wicklow Way.
Walk for a few hours to a hostel.
Have a few drinks in the evening.
Wake the next morning.
Walk back to the car.
Drive home to Dublin.

Would anyone know how I would go about getting the local forecast?

Also out of the following legs, which would be most suitable for cold weather and novice walkers?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks Folks.

Its hard to know how the roads are going to be. Ordinarily I'd recommend the Glendalough to Glenmalure leg, but you'd need to have booked in advance I believe to get lodgings in Glenmalure.
