Irish Whitewater Forum

Hey just wondering what the water levels are like at the moment down there as the graph never updated for yesterday! Did it get washed away

Also is there anyway that a gauge could be stuck on the Dargle, or is there anyone whos already on the case?

I was going to say give it a bell ,

But It looks like the phone is off. I have sent a mail to Eoin about it. I'll post up here when he gets back to me.

PS. I was meant to put all the phone numbers up on the gauge page, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I think ringing it was killing the power. Everyone ringing at times of worst weather (it's solar power). Eoin O R kept having to go up and reset it.

There are people already working on a Dargle gauge

It wasn't washed away but the water got pretty close! The battery's are very low, I need to move the solar panel to a less shaded spot. If any one has a spare car battery (that works) to donate to the gauge I could charge it and switch it for the one thats powering the gauge. Otherwise I will have to bring the battery's home, charge them, and bring them back down, which would be a pain and the gauge would be down for a few days.
Last I heard the Dargle gauge is in but not quite working yet.

Eoin,
I am sure a load of us would not mind giving you some money towards a new battery. We talked about doing something similar for Fergals Dargle gauge

How bout going down with a saw and cutting down whatever's making the place so shady?

So far I have been going for subtle.
I only ask as people often have car batteries lying around, as I did until I used it for the gauge. Its like recycling only better.

I've one spare in the boot of my car. It's a bit old mind, but if it's any use to you, you're welcome to it.. call me @ 0876793357 to arrange pickup..
