Pink Ribbon Mystery North Shannon. Posted by ralf
This is not easy to explain but it is something that has me a little confused and even more intrigued, On the navigation north of Carrick-on-Shannon both to Leitrim village and as far as Clarendon lock there are these little pink ribbons BUT why are they there??? they were obviously tied there so someone has gone to a lot of effort. The ribbons are placed at approx 200 m intervals and are placed both sides of the river tied to reeds,posts,trees and bushes etc. I have asked the rowing club many freinds and local branch members,WI and pretty much everyone else ive met and they all think im nuts BUT the photos below show im telling the truth (i may well be nuts  )Any one care to put me out of my misery.............

Id settle for cheap diesel Les  never mind gold,this one has me flummoxed,initially i thought it may be markers for the rowing club but they only ever travel south of Carrick.
Intriguing. Few weeks ago I had a pink ballon mystery on lough Derg. Spotted a line of them in the water spaced approx 50m appart for a mile running north south in Killaloe bay. Looked like they had been gas filled ones that landed on the lake from some distant launching spot but who knows. How they landed so uniformly on the lake is a mystery. 
Probably a treasure hunt or mystery trail. 
Sad I know, but I did a search. [www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net] "The pink ribbons that hang from the trees on the river bank stand testament to her involvement in raising money for breast cancer awareness through fishing days on the river. While next year a US established programme called Casting for Recovery which uses fly fishing as a means for survivors of breast cancer to be in peaceful surroundings and in the outdoors will be coming to Ireland which Glenda will be involved in." It may still be a survey  Dermot Cheetah 304.
Pink Ribbons will appear on the Shannon Waterway between Banagher and Portumna Shortly Ralf: So donal pm me your address and I'll send you your prize!
