Good Idea starting a new section ( I was going to suggest making the other thread a sticky but this is a better idea )

Perhaps a seperate thread should be started for each river/spot/beach & maybe the locals could post their contact details for updates, just an idea



PS 1st thread in this section

Also some useful info :


A reference to guestimate the Level at the Long Bridge based on readings at the Bealaboy Bridge which can be found here
I'll update with more levels as I get them.

Upper Bandon Gauge Level	Bealaboy Bridge Gauge Level
-0.2	0.5
0.0	0.6/0.7
0.125	0.87
0.4	1.15
0.8	1.15
1.16	1.7

Heard about this recently: http://www.bandonfloodwarning.ie/14daywaterlevels.htm Check out the Bealaboy Bridge graph. It's the next bridge, 3km, downstream from the Long Bridge in Dunmanway.

Upper Bandon at 0.75 this afternoon around 2ish. Plenty of water up river and raining there all day.

Danny I presume the above reading is from the Ardcahan Bridge gauge ?

Anyway just passed again at 5pm & level is @ +0.45M at the Long Bridge gauge

That is correct Pat. Sorry for the confusion. I will post the long bridge gauge from now on.

Post which ever you like I was just checking. I know it rises & falls fast but was pretty sure not that fast


Looks like there's a 0.3 difference, handy to know anyway

It's Dave btw

+0.4 @ 9am

Sorry about that Dave.
Was just home from paddling the mighty Sullane with Micheal, Bob and some other fella...

No bother Ted


Level +0.25M at 6pm

Level +1.0M at 12.30pm @ the Long Bridge

How quick does the bandon drop off? Do ya reckon there'll be any water left on it tomorrow?

Damn it i'm away, so won't be able to paddle the Upper bandon

guess everyone is still alive on the alps then dave!
