Rté - Canoe Bike

The mortification of map-reading at the railway station. Not making the Suck but learning about it anyway. On the mighty Shannon at last and on to two great meals: one Levantine, the other marine. (Irish radio documentary - RTE Ireland)

The Day of the Three Lakes. It started tranquil enough but a strong headwind rose from the West and made heavy going of the three large lakes on the Woodford River. Then there was the fiasco of Skelan Lock. (Irish radio documentary - RTE Ireland)

It's raining! So all the equipment gets wet: the radio, recording equipment, mobile phone. (Irish radio documentary - RTE Ireland)

Ronan sets off from Crom Castle; west across a windy Upper Lough Erne, into the Woodford River and up it to the Waterways Ireland mooring at Ahalane.

Ronan arrives on the banks of the River Erne in Belturbet where he launches the bike and canoe. During the programme he learns how to make a bike float on water.

Ronan puts the canoe and bike on the train on the Sligo-Dublin line. He gets off in Dromod and cycles to Belturbet, Co. Cavan, where he prepares to put the canoe and bike on the water. (Irish radio documentary - RTE Ireland)
