Glenmac - 03/01/12 
Annamoe, Wicklow - Tree down by James - 03/12/2011 There's a tree down on river right on a narrow bend about 300 metres before Guinness bridge. You see it in time enough to get around it on the left -certainly in low or medium water - but it could come up on you pretty quickly in higher water.
Siphon on the nore @ Thomastown - 31/10/11 After new works on the weir at Thomastown on the Nore the is now a man made siphon. There is a new land bridge built at the mill on river left. There is a slot approx 2 metres x 1 metere under this land bridge. At high/medium levels it is not visable so exercise great caution if paddling there.

Blockage - Avonbeg River - Stanley Falls - 24/10/11 Hi All,
Ran the Avonbeg river yesterday 24/10/2011 and the is a large tree blocking Stanley falls. It is not easy to see it from upstream. Attempt were made to remove the tree but it held fast.Â
There is no clean line through the rapid so a portage is necessary.

Avonbeg, Wicklow - Tree blocking gorge by Chris O - 23/10/2011 Tree covering the top of the gorge section. It looks like someone has had a go at cutting it but a big section remains, not a massive issue at low & medium levels but at high levels it will definately be an issue. Looks very well lodged and will take a huge volume of water to shift.
