Douchier:
Oh god cillian...you weren't there, you don't know the horror.
Also it would be good to try and make sure that everyone had airbags.
Diarmuid:
sounds good
Chunderdragon:
really good day, thanks a million niall! very very good of you to leave us all the gear. also, properly in love with your buoyancy aid!
Douchier:
Yes, well get your own!
Great to hear that you guys had a good time.
Are you all happy with how the day went, what you learned, did you all have enough/the right gear, was the instructor mean to you?
Was there anything that stood out as being particularly great/useful?
Did anyone take pictures?
OOH! and also a big thanks to Karen, Nuala, Bill and Maryanne phor generously letting their gear be used phor the day.
EllenMcG:
Yeh Niall thanks a million, we'd great fun :) Ill try answer the questions as best I can...
Phisrtly (lol) photos no...Very happy with how the day went, Cormac mean? sounds like you've never met the guy! He was lovely to us, very helpful, very open, never made us feel stupid when we (*cough* I ) let certain boats float down the river :)
Yup we all had the right gear thanks, everything went very smoothly and we learnt lots!
Useful things, we did quite a bit of throwing ropes and being rescued with ropes which is great cos I'd only been rescued with a throw rope once in a real life situation and I was a bit confused as to the smaller details (how to hold the rope in the water, which shoulder to put it over etc.)....Anyhoo by the end of the day rescues like that had become very routine which will be really helpful in future!
But yeh I really recommend everyone to go along who is thinking about it! :)
