Yeah, thats good for me. Can we have it on campus?
We can indeed, I'd rather it on campus personally but I'll see about room availability and where everyone would prefer it.

You can previously I've done it in the laragh community centre, gives you a chance to do stuff done by the river

Very true i was thinking of laragh but having it on campus would be much cheaper and convenient for everyone, might be better to have more people doing it in a slightly less optimal place than less people doing it in a better place you know? We'll see anyway

Having it at the brockragh centre in Laragh last year was a big plus...we were able to set up scenarios in the forest and down at the river bank which gave a much more realistic idea of how things happen and what you need to look for!

I don't need to do it again this year, but if I was I'd be happy to spend a tiny bit extra to be out there... If yous had cars you could always just drive out?

Have you guys who did it in the Brockagh Centre ever done it in UCD? Cause it works really well. You go to the running tracks in the woods/secret lake. All is fine - gives a good idea of the environment.

As I've done it in both, I think I am qualified to say it's similar enough, however going to Laragh is better craic as you can make a weekend of it and hang out and drink, rather than it just being a course.

I've done both and other places. You can go to other areas in UCD that can be useful

If you're stuck for numbers ask mountineers or caving club.

I would prefer campus for the training. Don't want to add a hour drive to and from Laragh to a long day.

You'd be staying the night down there though
