Movanagher Man

Movanagher (53).JPGThis is what happened recently when the Blueprint team filmed on the River bann, near the Movanagher plantation site. I set off in a two-man canoe, accompanied by Chris, ready to deliver a piece to camera about some of the reasons why this seventeenth century plantation failed. We were followed by the rest of the team -- Natalie, Siobhan, Seamas and Brian -- in a make-shift catamaran. When their raft got stuck on the rocks in this shallow stretch of the Bann, they had to be rescued by Rob, our guide forn the day, who simply waded into the water in his jeans and trainers and pulled the boat, Rambo-style, into the centre of the river. Rob, incidentally, is one of Ireland's leading barefoot waterskiers.
