Wicklow! (Water Dependant)
« on: November 08, 2006, 17:23:30 »
Dear Boys, girls, and Simon,

This saturday, weather permitting, we'll be bringing you all on your first proper whitewater experience.:D.

No weirs in wicklow, just nice continuous rapids :D. From here on in, we'll be trying to go to wicklow as much as possible.

Probably going to do buckys bridge down.

If we arent going to wicklow, we'll paddle sluice to strawberry beds on the liffey.

it would have to be dry! If there's no rain you just end up scraping off rocks in wicklow!

Yey!  I get to go play!

(Well I suppose I did get some nice surf in Strandhill last week)

'Tis looking kinda dry out lads - are yiz serious about going to Wicklow?  I need to know which boat to take from my quiver....

Aslo, what's the story these days, are all you freshers rich and, loike, droiving mummies core?  Do I need to give lifts or are you sorted?

I think it may start raining in the next hour or two, might make the difference.
