Recently we received an email with reagrds to the closed footpath. The only information we can find out at the moment is that the closure is due to a number of tree's being in a dangerous condition, the department responsible as you no doubt know is the forestry department.
We have spoken to someone who has an indirect route to the forestry department and we are waiting for his update.
As soon as we have a definate answer to your question well let you know.
