The Lough is mostly frozen over

I went up to see if it really was frozen.

It is! More photos and some videos here.

Pity it's not thick enough to skate on.

Must go up and have a look after work. The last time this happened I must have been about 6 or 7 years old.

No doubt someone will try. Years ago when my mother was small herself and her friend decided to walk on it when it was frozen over and my mother fell through, left her with rhumathoid arthritis. But ya never know maybe it will be thick enough someday with all the global warming etc.

Last tiem I saw it so frozen that people could walk on it was in about 1986/7. It was great. Must swing by later on and feeds the swans.

Went up during lunch with the girlfriend, looks really cool up there. You'd be tempted to go for a walk on it...or at least throw a small child out on it...

Class, it's over 20 years since I've last seen it freeze over. Happy days skating on it with my dog, while loads of others ran around like lunatics playing ball. Even a few people used to cycle on it.

Thanks a milion!
Now I know which is THE Lough in Cork! I was there once, also

Thanks again!

Woah?! I thought the Lough was a Cork institution and everyone knew where it was. Every kid in Cork has gone feeding swans and duckys there! Its up there with the shakey bridge in Fitzgeralds Park as being a thing every Cork kid has visited.

Good old shakey bridge, and it's not just for kids!

The shaky bridge is damn scary!

Probably it is...I just arrived here in December, forgive--me...lol
I can tell you about "institutional" places for kids and adults in Firenze, Trieste and Inis Mor...that's where I lived long enough to know
