Roogagh

I mentioned this place to finch yesterday and he hadn't heard of it, so I figured I'd post up about it to put it on people's radar.
A little far away but it's supposed to a nice pool-drop run for when people get bored of the Glens. I haven't run  it yet but I'd love to give it a go.

Looked at it recently on the guide, sounds quite nice, i think it's the kind of stretch best run with someone very familiar to it. Worth having a look at too is the glenarm, serious looking piece of whitewater..

Iww guide or the guide-book?
The book tends to over-state things a bit (it was written 20 years ago...), listing this as a grade v, rather than the more sensible looking 3-4 on the iww guide. Having someone who knows it never hurts of course.

I was referring to the online irish whitewater guide yes..I'd be wary of some of the shallow landings is all.
