Female Kayaking Weekend
« on: January 13, 2012, 15:15:33 »
There a female kayaking weekend organised by the ICU for 28th-29th of January. I went to one in Cork and it was fantastic.

There will be a slalom session outside Wild Water kayak club on the liffey on saturday 28th. Then a river safety and rescue session while we paddle down the anamoe, with practice for the Wacko Jacko boater x at the end.

For details and to register go to website or facebook page

They accommodate for all levels, and everyone ends up teaching and learning from everyone else, and you get to know some pretty cool women from all around the country. Anyhoo, I highly recommend going if anyone is about!

Thanks Karen!

It says you need a sling, carabiner and throw rope though? I think I'll need to wait till closer to the time to know if I can.

Yup, I'll sign up during the week. We probably have enough slings to go around for those that don't have one.

True, I think between Nuala and myself we could equip an army! (or just one or two extra people...)
