OMG: week 6 river trip!
« on: March 01, 2017, 10:53:29 »
So, in true UCD style, the promised/dreaded/anticipated/damn temporary storage containers have not arrived yet. But that means river trip instead! :D

This week:
When: Sat. 4th of March
Where: Boyne Wicklow
Plan: Boat house for 10am

Only six more copy and pastes to be done this year:

Warm clothes!!!! ….you know the drill at this stage!!
(avoid cotton at all costs! It makes you very, very cold when you’re wet). Anything made out of 'poly-' materials 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!  (I mean does anyone really read this now .... )

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! (Honestly, fair play if you are still soldiering on and reading this ... Or you're a Fresher ..)

•   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 them!).

Remember, Sign up closes on Thursday at 12!

Please put your name down to be included in a petition for UCD sport to get their act together
(or just to sign up for a river trip, whatever :P ):

6. Conal
7. Michael F
8. Anna May
9. Kieran
10. Evie
11. Emma
12. Maria
13. Greg (maybe)

So trip is being run as private (just meaning there is no instructors a normal river trip other than that).
As a result there will be no bus so drivers get your engines at the ready.


Drivers
Kieran: 3 boat and 3 peple spaces
John or Conall (ye can decide amongst yourselves who wants to drive): 3 boat and 3 people spaces
John F: himself and his Mamba
