Looks familiar......I live in Cheltenham now, but that looks like a few areas around my home town (Lisnaskea).

Was that Coridillar Quay? That old boat ramp looks like the one I spent a lot of time fishing of the end when I was a kid and riding up and down on my bike. Let me know if you are in the area for long, I can point out a few good fishing spots!

Small world - I wasn't expecting to see "home" pop up on the fourm. Your bus will get plenty of attention over there as not many around!

Some good course fishing around where you are in Lower Lough Erne - depends what your after though. A few smaller lakes with some really big pike - Moorlough (couple of miles outside Lisnaskea) is a favourite of mine - pulled some big fish out of there, had a 2 and a half pound perch when I was a kid, but some big pike and bream in there. Bit difficult to fish due to the reeds sometimes, but my dad has a fishing boat on it. If you are there for a while I am happy to give him a call and sort something for you. We also have a small fishing boat on Lough Erne. It's normally moored close to the Watermill Restaurant at Kilmore Quay, if you are interested let me know and I will check if the boats are still in the water and you are welcome to have the use of them.

Thanks for your more than generous offers,we are not too sure of our movements at the moment (house hunting)
I am probably in need of an air cooled specialist at the moment think my clutch release bearing is on its way out,
See the houses in the photos, that's what we are looking for,any ideas??

To be honest, I think you might struggle to find an air cooled specialist...... if you want an "honest" mechanic you probably won't go far wrong wth Rice Motors, behind the Maxol service station. Ask for Seanie
Have you tried posting on the irish fourm Eircooled.....may be worthwhile, as someone on thier might be able to point you towards a specialist reasonably local to you.

If you are thinking of buying in that area you will definitly get value for money......housing market still pretty depressed over there, prices took a massive hit during the recession and are only now starting to recover. Lots of internet searches and I am sure you will find what youre after.
Lisnaskea is my home town so I am obviously a bit biased, really friendly people and within striking distance of the lake without having to pay the slightly higher premium house prices command in Enniskillen.

Let me know how things go, as I would be interested to here how you get on.

If there is anything else give me a shout
