Hi Harry. looks fantastic . as i told you in an earlier comment we are heading that way next week and looking forward to it. this is our third time on the shannon and looking forward to the shannon erne waterway. some nice calm waters instead of choppy seas off cork. Ill keep an eye out for you both. Enjoy. Regards Paul
Paul Anderson: Hi Paul, yep the Shannon Erne Waterway will be a little bit more relaxing than the sea off Cork! Hope the good weather keeps up, keep an eye out for us 👍
Hi Kathleen, You can buy a lock key (windlass) from Waterways Ireland (least you used to get them there) of some marinas would probably make one up for you if you were stuck.
Hi Kathleen, yes I wasn't sure which you meant. The locks cards are available from most local shops as well as the WI patrollers on the Shannon Erne Waterway. They are also available online from www.waterwaysireland.org A 10 Unit cards costs €6.36 and 20 unit cards cost €12.70. Each lock on the Shannon Erne Waterway is 1 unit. Hopwe that helps. Harry

Ballinamore and Haugton Shore looks nice. There seems to be many small 'islets' in Lough Garadice. Is it easy to find your way around?
Mark 1, Oh yes, and there's plenty to see there. If you like fishing it's one of the best fishing lakes around.
the otters will be out in the dark, maybe dusk is a good time to spot one
Thanks for that I'll make a point of trying to spot one. Problem will be differentiating between an otter and a mink.
Thanku for that Katie
Do you have to pay for lock keys Katie

Sorry I wanted to know did you pay for the card you put in at the locks, I know about lock keys as we go on the canals over here

If you have mink that is quite bad news.... went to ballinamore in 1970
Hi Philip. Yes there are a few around alright. They do a lot of damage. I'm sure Ballinamore has change a bit since 1970 😀
