I was thinking...it's a bit odd how when we run private trips, we tend to stick to the same rivers.
Indeed, I've run as many different rivers in Kerry as I have in Wicklow, and it's not for lack of selection, there's load of them!
It's not always possible to have someone that's run the river as part of your group on the day, and I think that this is something that can put a lot of us off considering new and exciting experiences that are available.
With a mind to branching out a bit more; is there who's interested in taking a walk up a few rivers when we're not lucky enough to have rain to have a look at them.
This would let people get a better idea of what's there, check for hazards and save on scouting time when there is rain. Some light pruning could also be done.
Places like the Shankill, Kings river, Inchavore and Ballydonnel brook are places that I'd like to run right now but I'd also like to look at the Source, the Glendassan and Poulaphouca waterfall.
Also, is there anyone who'd be interested in taking a trip up to the Mournes some time it's raining?
It's an adventure sport, let's be adventurous.
