Great photos D! Me and Trish went to Clifden when we stayed in County Clare, we drove the Sky road as well...beautiful. Went up round Kylemore Abbey (what a view from the road across the lake) then on into Cong to see the "Quiet Man" town. Jeez, they're still milking that film 60 years later, the "Quiet Man " cafe, the "Quiet man" pub and so on. There was something called "The rising of the Waters" at Lough Mask and Lough Corrib, but I forget what that was all about. Beautiful countryside and coastline.

this is the "Quiet Man Bridge". We passed it on the way home but my camera had run out of batteries so this is a google image of it. Some American bought the "White O' Morn" cottage years ago, and let it fall into ruin. He won't allow anyone near it to repair/rebuild

Here's what it looks like now...
and what it used to look like...
You couldn't restore that now. It would just be a new build "copy", as it's too far gone.

Bassa. I like that movie even if it is a bit "Top o the morning". The fight scene is classic.

Cheers Dermot. I like the way they use the road for seating outside the pub.
And those yachts against the wall look a bit precarious.

Those keels must be strong to support the weight of the boats.

The one in the foreground on picture 6 is a McGregor 26. Not sure about the others.
You can get a Yorkshire Cobble but I've not come across a northern cockle sucker.

There is an Irish immigration problem though Reg, except its the opposite of ours!
