Tr Ash:
i also agree with tom, i had planned skills courses etc for trinity but cause of the water they couldnt go ahead.....i do think rossbeigh is a good location for the river and surf, that why i suggest looking into differetn houses int he area or approaching the ice-boxes owner and agreeing a prices with her for whoever would be looking to book one......i look forward to the day when i head down to kerry and push myself on rivers ive nenver tried before(fingers crossed its next year or sooner!!!)



....look i remembered not to say her name!! :D

Imagine if this tread was replaced with topics of the following -

"Head Torch - never realised how useful they are on a river trip"

Tom, why don't you just kill us all now, that way we won't die of boredom if you ever take controll of the message board.
Let me tell you this, if you ever make a post like that there had better be a funny story attached to it. Because if there isn't..well..lets just say  i might feel pretty angry towards you for awhile after that.

I've been on a river in Kerry and needed a head torch and it was, thinking back, funny ??? ;D

So 24 people have so far posted under this topic out of 57 replies and 1148 views. I presume the decision effects a lot more people than the 24 who have posted so far = kayakers from all colleges, social members, oldies, ex pats like myself, Allio talks about 100 heads, but I'm thinking more like 300heads who come and go to "Kerry". So the suggestion to talk about it at varsities and at the ball??? and all any other big events and not being too hasty here is a good idea.

Maybe others who haven't posted yet could post what you think? If you're not in, you can't win!

And just to go around in circles..... my  .02c

In my opinion, don't move. Rossbeigh has the best in the country to offer, but obviously the money rates need to be negotiated with the locals. Moving to scare them WAS DONE. For two years we went to Castle Gregory. A great time was had by all but all wanted to return to Rossbeigh.

For those who do not want to go back because of Dee, I respect your decision but I was a little surprised as one of the reasons I really want to go back this year is because of Dee. I wasn't there 07/08 or 08/09 and really want to remember Dee in Kerry.

Having spent one New Year's in Nicaragua and this year in Cornwall working, I made up my mind, no matter what happens, I'm not missing another Kerry. So I was soooo shocked to read the title of this post and its contents. Having red all the replies and having talked to good friends who were there this year, I understand the need to raise the issue.  But I think negotiation with the cottages owners is the first port of call, not leaving.... Please don't leave :'(

It's going to be difficult to please everyone but I believe in UCDCC and in kayaker’s mentality in general to try and accept everyone’s opinion. Since I moved away, I realise even more how special a group of friends you guys are, one in a million. So at the end of the day, I will spend next New Year's where the majority end up...

 in Rossbeigh ;)

Dear Becca,

That was poor. Come on now, you've thrown better insults at me in the past.

Remember the insults about my small feet, the sending prostitues to my parents house, making a pair of gloves from my beloved cat?

Although it's hard for me to admit, they were quite clever, however that was just poor . .  . .

Maybe you're getting old Becca? Or maybe you're becoming more like your mother?

Either way i won't lower myself to insulting you in this weakened state.

Get well soon,

Tom

you're so sensetive. you're like a fifteen year old girl.. I wasn't even insulting you.
