Mayo lake adventure centre makes closure announcement

Mayo Adventure Experience, which has based at Lough Lannagh in Castlebar for almost a decade, has announced it is closing from June 30 next.

The news is a major blow on the ongoing development of the location as a tourist and recreational amenity.

A statement issued by the business outlined: "Our insurance ran out on June 23 and we have decided not to renew it.

"This obviously means that all our activity on the lake after that date will not go ahead, including camps.

"I would like to thank everyone for all the support over the years, to all the kids who made the adventure camps the success they are.

"We created nine years of great memories (this would have been our 10th summer) and we also achieved so much more.

"Thanks to all our instructors and junior instructors who worked so hard to create so many memories for kids,

"This was truly the biggest adventure we’ve been on so far.

"There are too many people to thank here so I'll thank them in person.

"Lough Lannagh has been a great host to kids, families, teams, groups all looking for adventures.

"We wish you a wonderful summer and hope you find adventure wherever you go. Thanks a million."
