Lahinch/liscannor

We took a drive this morning down around Lahinch and liscannor for a nosy, all I can say is that it is a scene of utter destruction, it's some reminder of the power of the sea, took a few shots and video will try and post up later. One of my favorite marks has just been obliterated on the up side the storm might have created a few new marks

awesome stuff http://www.thejournal.ie/news-fix-satur ... 2-Jan2014/

we were heavily battered up here as well Conger. Belfast got away relatively lightly but the east Antrim coast got the highest tides and waves seen in a lifetime. plenty of damage and 'alteration of the coastline'!..
met a couple of guys fishing yesturday hoping that fish would be about looking for scraps left by the storm they had blanked over a few hours though

The weather has taken its tole here in the west too. in achill a trawler was sunk in at the pier the waves picked it up turned it upside down and another wave sunk it again. There is at least 4/5 curraghs gone missing. But bits of canvas and wood are comming in on the shore. 40ft Containers thrown around like toy boxs. I was out at mulrannny down the pier road and there is about 50/60tone of stone covering the road. the pier is not to badly damaged but the road is ripped up and the floor of the pier is all missing the concrete . Hopefully tonight will be much calmer .

Here are some pictures of Lahinch seafront , Doolin car park and Fanore beach in that order . Amazing the power of the sea.
There is a beach clean up in Lahinch on Sat and Sunday at 1030am and another in Ballybunnion also this weekend.
I believe there is to be a fishing comp in aid of the rescue building repair fund in the future too!

wow the sand is completely gone from fanore -barely recognisable

that looks like way over to the right side in fanore past the rocks

Unreal! we got away with murder on the east cork coast compared to the damage elsewhere. I hope the damage won't affect ye're fishing too much up west and that the government and the insurance companies sort out the local residents.
