Anyone planning on travelling via Leenane on the N59 between Clifden and Westport should avoid this route as the bridge in the centre of the village has been washed away in a flash flood.

Details from RTE news here.

Unfortunately the rideout was to cross that bridge :( but Jockser and I have a cunning plan. Well, several actually, but the main thing is that the rideout will still happen, albeit somewhat changed.
 
I was over that road on the 3rd of July and the Bridge looked like this then!! From the opposite side:eek: The Road from there over to Clifden's a cracker.:D

We are having lunch in that wee cafe on the left there M, then we had planned to go over the bridge turn left and head away into the hills. :augie

Ah well, we will have to resort to back-up plan 2, 3 or maybe even 4. :)
