Fermanagh Lakelands - Lusty Beg and more

- I've been bitten by the Fremanagh Lakelands bug. I really enjoyed this Lough Erne cruise with the weather being so kind to us we just cruised into Lusty Beg island without a bother. We stopped off at the neighboring island of Lusty More on our way and took a quick look around. But Lusty Beg was the jewel in the crown for me.
We got a nice lunch there and it was all washed down with a cold beer. Then we took a walk about and saw the chain ferry. This is an interesting boat and it's pulled over to the island on two long cables. It can carry cars as well as foot passengers and the crossing is a very short one.
There was a wedding on the island the day we visited and what a smashing location for one too. The island has lots of accommodation in a variety of chalets and houses.
After seeing Lusty Beg and with the weather still holding we decided to up sticks and head across the lake to the lonely mooring at Castle Caldwell. Now this is a quiet spot but it has some great walks with great views over Lough Erne. But if you're visiting make sure to bring your supplies. In fact that applies to a lot of the moorings on Lough Erne. With the three exceptions on Beleek, Enniskillen, and Belturbet there are few other places where you can do a bit of shopping.

i love lusty beg. its a must for anyone who hasn't. the staff were very friendly any time i was there.
Ye it's a lovely place, wish I was there now 🤭
@@DriftwoodBoatBlog a beautiful day to be at anchor
Love it, if anyone is looking into hiring a cruiser and doing this I highly recommend to just do it. 3 of my best family holidays ever. Great video and thanks for sharing.
Hi Lyndsey ye it is a special place, glad that you enjoyed the video 👍
Lusty beg Island meaning (from what I read) Little Lodge seems a very tranquil place. I think that anyone heading towards Belleek should make a visit to this charming place. The water looks so beautiful and calm considering it is so close to the North Atlantic Sea. How often would you say is the wind at Force 2 in Lough Erne during the summer season? It would be beautiful to sail in such calm waters whilst enjoying the surroundings. Which is the best online site to give the best wind forecasts for boaters at River Shannon? As always, a great video.
Hi Mark, I never knew it ment Little Lodge 👍You would get F2 winds or less occasionally especially early in the morning. As for Apps I use the Met Eireann weather app, it has an inland lakes forcast. As a rule of thumb I go by if it says F2 gusting to F4 you can bet it will be F4 in any large lake!
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi Harry, I'm new to this boating thing. What was the chart atlas type book you were describing your route on, where can one be purchased. Great video.
Hi Ian, Glad you enjoyed the video, the best place to buy the charts is from the Inland Waterways website www.iwai.ie
Hope to see you on the water some day.
Driftwood Boat Blog Thanks Harry.
Just wondering what is your diesel consumption per week cruising
Hi Ann, that's a good question and do you know I'm not really too sure. It would vary week to week but if I remember correctly she burns about 5 Lts an houre if I'm taking it easy (was burning 15 Lts an houre with it at sea)
