A pipe dream...

Tiny Tim:
So if anyone were to ask me what I thought the coolest type of kayaking was, I'd have to say expedition boating. Packing a tent, stove and food into the boat and paddling down a tasty river. Charge down some nice rapids, blast into the eddy, set up camp and hit the hay. Then do it all again next morning.

However... this is done most often in developing countries, vast widerness and exotic bad ass rivers. Like some of this.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je4DgvPRm6k&feature=related    http://zanskar.blogspot.com/

Have I ever done any of this sort of thing? No. Would I like to? Definately!

But... Traveling to exotic locations like India or Africa costs a fair bit of money. Do I have a fair bit of money? Eeeh no. We dont have much wilderness in Ireland and our whitewater tends to be short too.

Buuuut the Avonmore is quite a long river with loads of regularly run sections, 25 km between the lough dan put in and the meeting of the waters. Not hugely challenging but could a fun way to spend a weekend.

What do people think? Would there be any interest in doing something like this some weekend?
