Liffey Descent 2011

Ley-Ley · July 30, 2011, 02:48:04

It's down hill Gareth, it's handy!

Livia · July 30, 2011, 13:23:50

Yeah, probably won't make my Level 3 within the next weeks and not having time to prepare... so I have to bail out

Ley-Ley · July 30, 2011, 13:42:59

You don't need you level 3 and it ain't too hard, just keep a steady pace and you'll finish no bother. If you wanna win, you gotta practice but if you just want to take part, no worries. Loads of people take part just to say they paddled in the descent!

You can get an instructor to sign you off.

Don't not do the descent cause of a lack of L3.

If u want to do it, do it.

That's always been my words of wisdom

Livia · July 30, 2011, 17:08:48

are you sure, rog?

ahm, and when is it again? I won't be available at all till the 31st of August, Thesis is still rockin my world

There is always rescue! So much fun and you get free food and a free ticket to the night out or at least you did in previous years.

rog · July 30, 2011, 19:40:49

Don't worry liv, the descent's on the 10th. You'll be well finished thesis by then.

Party ticket has always cost extra except to rescue personnel. Tempted to do it myself. It's been 13 years since my first one! (sobs about age creeping up etc)

Gareth · July 31, 2011, 15:54:14

The Party Tickets are free if u register before the 15th of august

Livia · July 31, 2011, 19:49:31

Gareth, you seem to be the man for the registration. Could you give me some help?

Anyone interested to train a little after the 31st of August?

Karen · August 01, 2011, 12:44:16

I'm hoping to compete in this. If anyone wants to come out on the liffey or somewhere to practice I'm happy for company (well really motivation to do it) and can give lifts.

I'll probably be out later today with Nuala if anyone wants to come.

Gareth · August 01, 2011, 14:23:26

Hey Liv, yeah you should fill out section 1 for the Single Class entry and get an instructor to sign the form, then in section two just tick the box Womens senior general purpose and thats it oh and pay

Hey Karen i cant go out this week but I'd be up for goin paddling anytime get as much practice as possible before the race

Eoghan · August 01, 2011, 16:15:18

It's on the 10th?? hmm thats the day after i get back from holidays...i imagine i'll be pretty rough, anyone need help with rescue??

FINN · August 03, 2011, 23:22:37

Anybody using the duo? Might give it a go if its available?

caz · August 06, 2011, 21:14:14

what are the options for accommodation for culchies that might like to do this? Somebody told me there was camping but it was a long time ago. Is there still camping available?
