A Co Dublin woman who has climbed in the Himalayas and been to base camp on Mount Everest is suing the Irish National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) for €60,000 in damages following a fall on the Wicklow Way.
Hill walker Teresa Wall (59) of Rathingle Cottages, Swords, said in the Circuit Civil Court that as the result of a laceration to her right knee she can no longer climb or run marathons.
The woman, who weekly ran a half-marathon as a hobby, told her barrister Peter McParland that she received seven stitches after falling on a board-walk in the Wicklow Mountains National Park..
There could be trouble ahead if she wins this..
