Title: Exploring Lough Erne
Post by: kaya on January 22, 2012

The Mountains are great to get away from it all but, my favourite type of solitude is on a desserted island on Lough Erne. Using a canoe means i dont have to be light weight, so i can bring my chair, dutch oven and other bulky heavy stuff i would never put in a rucksack!

Four Elements Adventure will be running a competition on NI wild soon with a a guided trip on Lough Erne up for grabs.

Check out this video to find out a little bit more of what they have to offer.

I'm a volunteer canoe ranger for the Upper Lough and would be on the water down there quite a bit...

Here is a link to a blog of mine on SotP from a few years back...

Good write up Drongo, with the canoe you can really afford to take so much more gear to make your trip comfortable, although i think your still regret not havin the thermarest  :)
