Teresa Watkins from Youghal visiting the town centre on her electric bicycle. - Meet Teresa Watkins from Youghal, County Cork. Teresa uses her electric bicycle for her every business, shopping and meeting friends. But she really loves touring the surrounding area, cycling the same routes her great-grandparents did. “I can just take off and know I’m not going to be exhausted. It’s transformed my life.”Teresa Watkins, Youghal In the three and a half years I’ve had my electric bicycle, I’ve travelled 3,500 miles in and around Youghal. I don’t feel the hills. The inclines and the valleys are no trouble. I can cycle for over six hours continuously on my electric bicycle. It’s just the best. In recent years, my concern for the environment lead me to look into alternative modes of transport. I didn’t want to buy a car. I wanted to be able to get some fresh air and exercise – but transport my shopping to the hilltop in Youghal, where I live. I haven’t missed owning a car. I can cover distances that I could never cycle on a push bike. I can meander and enjoy life at my leisure without the worry that it’s going to be a tough cycle home. I can just take off and know I’m not going to be exhausted. It’s transformed my life. My electric bicycle compliments my ethics and my lifestyle perfectly. Travelling by electric bicycle helps me to orientate myself on the landscape and really connect with it. I’m not damaging the environment. I’m not making noise and disturbing nature. There is also the sheer joy of being able to cycle pretty much anywhere. I’m able to take any little side-road or boreen and find it no trouble climbing hills. My favourite place to cycle is the Blackwater river valley. It’s a beautiful historic landscape that hasn’t changed in hundreds of years. I’m especially drawn here because my great grandparents cycled here often, even on their honeymoon! I’m cycling where they did, looking at the same views they looked at. I love that connection to them. My ancestors, the Horgan Brothers, were known to cycle from town to town showing magic lantern shows, evolving as pioneers in photography and film, often featuring the beautiful locations where they cycled. Today, I cycle these same roads under the same trees and take photographs and film just as they did. My electric bicycle enables me to do this with ease. Loaded with a flask of tea and sandwiches, my little stool, camera and tripod, I’m gone for the day … bliss! Via: https://we-bike.ie/our-ambassadors/teresa-watkins/

WAVES WOW, BUT WELL TO BE WARY...By Christy Parker - WAVES WOW, BUT WELL TO BE WARY... By Christy Parker | Courtesy of the Dungarvan Observer The recent storms saw young and old alike converge on Youghal’s the Front Strand & Claycastle area to enjoy the nature display its power during the recent high tides and wind. The waves provided spectacular entertainment as they crashing powerfully against the rocks and sea wall as nature displayed its awesome power. Children as young as three or four years old, enjoyed the experience of daring the water to catch them out. For the most part they ended up totally drenched but delighted! However some of the derring-do will have caused concern, with a few young children venturing down the steps towards the water’s edge on the Front Strand promenade. It is easy to underestimate the speed and power of the waves and it was a risky game to play, especially as the tide regularly lapped the promenade wall even after the tide had turned. Equally, less than an hour after this clip was taken, a few children were walking along the top of the sea wall that had been breaking the waves. The tide was receding but only just and the danger remained ominously present. It was uncomfortable to see. There are no such things as ‘freak waves’. There are just waves. It’s what the sea does to varying degrees and if one of the waves, arrives a bit faster and stronger then the others, the danger of being pulled out with it is very real. It happens often. Keep children safe. Video: Christy Parker

New Beach Boardwalk in Youghal - The longest seafront boardwalk in Ireland. - 26th August 2020 - Youghal Beach Boardwalk construction continues at a rapid pace between Redbarn Beach and Claycastle Beach - both beaches hold the prestigious Blue Flag for 2020. When completed it will be the longest seafront boardwalk in Ireland. The extension will cost approximately €1.25m and follows an allocation of €500,000 to Cork County Council under the 2018 outdoor recreation infrastructure scheme that is managed by the Department of Rural and Community Affairs. Its completion will mean a 7km walkway between the town centre and Redbarn beach has effectively been established, with a main facet being the easy facilitation of the elderly and disabled, including those in wheelchairs.
