The team did its first Foot Patrol of the New Year on an icy Sunday afternoon around the Howth Cliffs. Care is needed on the main Howth Head cliff path at the moment due to the recent icy conditions and appropriate foot wear and walking sticks are recommended. The side paths down to the waters edge used by fishermen should be best avoided due to the ice and loose ground.
While on Foot Patrol around Howth Head Cliffs the team came across a tourist who was unable to get back to the main path at Balscadden Car Park. While walking she had descended off the path to the cliffs below and had difficulity getting back. Two members of team got to her position and escorted her safely back to the car park.
