    Couple of hundred metres from Marlfield village which is a couple of miles from the town centre. Anyone in Clonmel could direct you.

    Yes there is a wonderful variety of ringworm available in Sandybanks. The Suir is stink 5 miles above and everywhere below Clonmel. Id advise against it.

    Has anyone ever been swimming in the lake up at the Vee??

    I presume it's extremely cold but is it dangerous? More dangerous than a normal lake I mean.

    Never heard about the ringworm but the river is reasonably clean and you certainly can swim in it....loads of people do every year with no ill effects.
    Give Sandybanks a try.
