University of Limerick Kayak Club

Heeeeeey friends!

About 8 of us (UCDCC) should be coming down this weekend for some paddling (and partying?) if anyone would like to join us? Forecast looking good to go so far - hopeful Glens days, but willing to travel towards Clare or Kerry if necessary, or - if it's really, really low - show everyone the delights of high CC and the Deel.

And bags of cans! Definitely part of the plan.

Or. Everyone goes down to cork for paddlesurf!

Sorry, the hierarchy of whitewater is in play. Also petrol costs and seeing my dog

Any other time derv but really want to try proper surf kayak with good help why dont we all head over to kerry on sunday maybe cud dat work?

Van is booked but does not look likecwe will need it so lads meeting ye cud take it?

Ive no hassle driving across to kerry if rivers are looking good

Looks like Sunday could be good to go for the Glens either, and like 3 of the group have never done them. Sure we'll know levels closer to the weekend!

Sound play it by ear so

Hey derv what level of paddler are you willing to take on the glens, I've been dying to try them out for ages but have no idea what I'm getting in for?

Hey I'd say what'll happen is that a group from UL and a group from UCD will meet up out there if that would suit? I'd hope there'll be a group of ye heading too and people will know the levels of those going that way!

My current plan is Ennistymon Saturday (visual level if anyone's down around there in the next few days?) and Glens Sunday so we should all go

Sounds like a good plan

With the water the way it is I reckon we'll end up sticking around Limerick on Saturday unless Ennistymon's up - Deel and Mulcair, or high CC. Anyone up for coming with us? Could have 3 spaces in the cars, or could organise to meet us wherever

Hey Patrick, it really depends on the level but once you've got a reasonably solid roll on moving water and are able to confidently drive into some of the smaller eddies on the Glens then you should be able to find someone to bring you down the Glens. If you're 50-50 about it you can always go out and paddle top drop and make up your mind about the rest of the river after that.

Gav made me change this.

Nevermind I forgot I am doing level 4 training this weekend for Saturday so I won't be there Saturday but hopefully I'll be there Sunday

Patrick, that training is the following weekend. You're still free this weekend.
