So, we're going to rent a house in Glenbeigh/Rossbeigh, for the New Year period, probably Monday Dec 29th to Sunday Jan 4th. This will allow us to have a base to sleep and eat while:
- getting paddling on some of Ireland's best rivers and getting a bit of surf in as well,
- joining in in the barstool-paddling that goes on as well, with an epic multi-day session over the new year period with a great night in/out on the 31st, usually with some great swimming..
The cost of the house will be divided as fairly as I can amongst those of us that will be staying down, on a €cost per night basis - I'll also be taking some form of a deposit before Christmas from people, earliest people to pay me get first dibs on the beds! The more that come down, the cheaper it gets for everyone, and the better the craic is.
You'll probably need a sleeping bag, and possibly some form of ground mat/inflatable bed if there are a lot of people. Other than that, the usual things for a few days paddling and carousing!
Do come down - it'll be epic, as these new years trips end up being epics, for all the right reasons!
