Thoughts on Laghey?

Hi everyone!
First of all I’ve got the opportunity to move to Laghey. Don’t shoot! I’ve seen another post and someone commenting that “I thought everyone moves out of Laghey.” But I need a wee place for me to start over. I don’t need too much. Any Laghey native to tell me how it is like to live there?

I'll start by saying I don't drive under the influence nor do I condone it. With the bank holiday weekend coming up there's bound to be Garda Checkpoints, I smoke cannabis somewhat frequently, usually about 1 joint in the evening when I get home.

I cycle to work, but like most people I have to drive to get around the county. I don't drive under the influence (minimum 12 hours between smoking and driving), I don't speed, I obey traffic laws, but I know that the Guards can pick up trace amounts of cannabis in saliva for days or weeks after smoking, has anyone had any encounters with checkpoints recently, are they mandatory intoxicant checks?

Parking near Clanree Hotel Letterkenny

Hi folks,

My friend and I have a medical exam for the reserves on Friday in Dublin, and we are getting picked up from the Clanree Hotel after 3pm on Thursday. I will be coming over from Derry and looking for a reliable place to park overnight. Any recommendations?

Thanks

It's lovely to see the bright colour of the whin bushes all over the North West at the minute, but it has me wondering, is there a significant increase in whins over the last couple of years? It seems far more widespread this last few years.

I believe that the common variety of whin that you see all over the hills is actually an invasive species, related to rhododendron (which is taking over between Pettigo and Laghey). Is anything being done to manage it?

Was recently in Letterkenny and seemed to be mostly foreigners when I was walking around. Huge change from when i last visited. I don't really understand it as it’s not a major city or anything so what attracts so many people to go live there?

Lost Cat Donegal Town Area

Hey all. Wondering if anyone is missing a tabby cat or knows someone who is around the Donegal Town area. It followed me home a couple of nights ago and it's appeared again outside my house. Think it's female, haven't properly checked, but it's very friendly.

I don't have Facebook so thought I'd try here first.

Hi all. I really want to see a little more of west Donegal on my next road trip, likely over the June Bank Holiday weekend. I'm pretty flexible as I've the whole week off but I'm guessing the weekend would be the most lively time to visit. I'll be travelling from the Midlands and would like to take in a night on Tory and maybe even a night on Arranmore too. I know I can take my care over onto Arranmore so that'll be great. Solo traveller, so as cost effective as possible if that's possible! Is there bike hire available on Tory can anyone tell me? I'd really love local input as you can't beat personal recommendations.

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to share their ideas...

Attending the Billy Gibbons gig in the Rory Gallagher Festival at the end of the month.

Never been to it before, wondering what the main gigs are like in the tent?

Is there any seating at all, or all just ground level standing?

Hi, I’ve just moved to Donegal and need to choose an electricity provider.

Looking for the cheapest option with good new customer offers. I’ve seen Yuno Energy, Electric Ireland, and Bord Gáis mentioned but not sure which is best right now.

Any recommendations or recent experiences? Is switching every year worth it?

Thanks!

On 23rd May we invite Tony (Feed Me Groove) and Suggzy (Andi Ho) from @sonarblissmusic to come up from Belfast to play in @bennigans.bar

Both these guys produce music together as @haindotechno and have been finding a bit of form with recent releases and remixes for they're own label Sonar Bliss plus @hobin__rude , @brisbeatsrecords , @thefreebooterlounge , @unit_4_music and upcoming a remix of @mici_b_ , also out on Freebooter Lounge. Between both of these lads there's a wealth of DJing experience, which I've witnessed in a club, hence the reason why their playing for us, so expect great dancefloor action 😁

Also on the bill is @rhythmikk_ with a debut warm-up set that will have ya grooving. And no stranger to the decks in and around the Derry scene for years, @damienboyle .

Looking forward to this BIG TIME.
