    Same here. Ski in the winter, cycle in the summer. That would be the life. Dunno where I'd work though, do they have much manufacturing industry in the alps? F*** it, I'd gladly work in a cafe on mimimum wage making hot chocolate all day.

    Nice - do you get into the waterfall cross-country, or in through the gate with the cars etc? I'm just wondering if they charge bikes?

    I was up there on Saturday, and duly ignored the sign.

    There's one concrete barrier across the road at the bottom of first hill just past the bridge. You need to get off and lift the bike over the barrier.

    A marks the spot...

    http://g.co/maps/4d7ec

    The bridge at the bottom of the climb up past lough tay is being repaired. There were large fences on each side of the bridge. The bridge itself is still there, but the road part is gone, if that makes sense. All the tarmac and "road" is gone, but a concrete base layer remained with a 2-3 foot drop from the road to the concrete. I was able to get across but its dicey enough as you need to lift you bike around the fences which go all the way to the edge of the bridge so your bike is over the edge and you need go up around the fences quite close the edge of the brige (there's a decent drop).

    So, its possible to get by, with care. Or at least it was no March 10th...

    If you were going the other way (North down hill past lough tay towards Sally Gap) and ignored the signs you could have a nasty spill at the bottom of that hill as you'd go straight into the barriers if you weren't careful.


    (Dont go around if you dont like it; YMMV. The fences and road blocks are probably there for good reason.)
