Owenroe
Gearharmeen
Middle Roughty if you walk the slots.
Clydagh

Easy rivers
Lower Caragh
Lower Flesk

wow, it's not often I can see a list of rivers and say I've done 3 of them.

of course, we walked off two of those...

kmck · November 28, 2008, 21:01:10

Owenroe is off this year due to large numbers of fish getting it on, there is a notice on irishwhitewater. There others are fine if start early in the morning if your only heading out at 11 stick to an easy bimble down the lower caragh.

, and as for jody and your L5 training... I'll c u on the flesk...

ha ha cheers Rog!!! I look forward to it.

On a serious note. What are peoples experiences of the Flesk Jam? Might be a bit of fun to take part.... is it too ambitious though?

hey, im well up for that!!

i posted up on irish freestyle and they said they're finilising the details at the moment......Have been told its grade 4 sections with lotsa rescue so im there!

see u there??

'lots of rescue'
Ha!

I did it the year before last, they rescues my boat and threw a rope high up into a tree (unfortunately i wasnt in the tree). I had the worse swim ive ever had throug the gates o the flesk. But i'm pretty sure that was just seriously bad luck and rescue will be much better. Like, I'd say ill do it again this year.

Shall think about it so.
Might be too ambitous to be racing the first time i have even seen it.

fityounggranny · November 30, 2008, 21:41:52

ah sure feck it. the first time i'll see it is the day of the competition, can always opt out then if its too much/too high etc

I assume it's on the Gates section at the Flesk put-in. Am I right Sara? If so, Jody you are well able for it. There are two sections where it's easy to need a roll but in both cases it's at th bottom of a drop in easy water. The first time I saw it was a race aswell. Only way to go. Try to be hungover aswell, for tradition's sake.

Sara · December 02, 2008, 10:28:07

yep its the section at the put in, little bit of flat followed by a drop then some flat then the rapids.
