Kerry lifts and castleconnel
« on: November 30, 2018, 14:28:13 »
So this post is to start co ordinating drivers with passengers (passenger? I barely know her!) down to Kerry.
If possible we’d like to paddle the castleconnel in limerick on the way down as it’s where the ww section will be for varsities and we’ll hopefully do time trials there. It’s only 15 mins extra on the way coming from Dublin. So if drivers were willing to do that it would be greatly appreciated.
 The van will be in Kerry again this year but boat spaces are always at a premium so use roof racks 👍🏼


If ye could stick your name down. How many spaces you have free. (People and boat.) whomst is in your car, When and where you’re going to and from.

Preference for the van will be given to people not coming from Dublin.

Merry[/size] Kerry !!!!

Eg.

Driver- 4boats- All of Kerry. From Dub

I'll be in Limerick over Christmas so I could paddle Castleconnel before heading down to Kerry. I'll see what the levels are up too.
