Hello you lovely people!
Registration should be opening any minute now for the Galway-fest 2013!
That's right, the event that gave you this lovely image!
This is undoubtedly one of the most fun and most Buckfast-fueled events of the kayaking calender.
Register ASAP as places are limited; even if you're not sure that you can go, register.
Registration hereThe event will be on two days and consist of a freestyle competition and a whitewater race.
Freestyle will hopefully be at Tuam(

The whitewater race will be on the Boluisce(
Guide,
Video- video conveniently shows many of the lines not to take) - probably from the campsite down to Spidal. This stretch is pretty comparable to running the Annamoe without jacksons.
I think that the big plus to this event is that's it's much more accessible than something like the Flesk Race or the Clare Glens race and I hope to see loads of people from here competing. If you've any questions then post them up here or send me a PM
and sure, here's another
video.
