The Great Drought is here! Get out and start doing your rain dances everyone
So this week it's off to the Boyne again for some action!
When: This
Saturday February 21st
Where: The
BoyneThe Plan Meet at the
Boathouse at
10am Give Ross a text on 087 245 6200 if you’re not sure where to go!
What to bring: •
€10!This covers the cost of the bus and instructors
•
Warm clothes!!!! Avoid
cotton at all costs! It makes you very, very cold when you’re wet.
Anything made out of
'poly-' material is a good bet! Fleeces are great! Fleecy pyjamas are even better! Tights make a good layer, especially to pop over your fleecy layers before trying to put on a wetsuit (even the lads should consider investing !!) If you have a wetsuit bring it! If not, the club has a small selection of them...try to get to the boathouse on time to get first pick!
You can never, ever have enough layers!!!
So here’s your essential guide to keeping nice and toasty on the river ;
http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10222.0.html •A pair of
old shoes! (Or wet booties if you have them). For this trip socks won’t work...the water is going to be low, so if you come out of the boat, you'll be stepping on rocks (which is not fun in socks!) If you don't have a pair, pop into your local Penneys or Tesco and pick up a pair of cheap shoes!
•
Towel and warm, dry clothes for afterwards!
•Some
hot stuff! Flasks of tea, soup, hot blackcurrant...they'll all be much appreciated on the bus home!! And chocolate bars or cereal bars!! Nothing better than some sugar after a fun day on the water (avoid things that aren't in wrappers though, cause you won’t want to wait to wash your hands before eating!)
NB!!! If you haven't yet been to a pool session, you must go to one before this trip. Let committee know that it's your first pool session so we can take you through a few quick and easy safety drills.
As usual sign-up closes at
9pm on Thursday If at all possible please don't sign-up unless you know you can make it, so that we can organise suitable instructors in time!
