Ok Guys, just finished exchanging a few mails with Ciaran Maguire.
What? We've organised a weekend for a training course geared towards the likes of what you need to work on to be on the road to ICU L5 standard.
When? The prelimanery weekend for this will be the last day in February, 1st day in March, i.e saturday the 28th of Feb and Sun 1st of March.
Where? The weekend will be based in Kerry, with probably the glens on day 1 and the flesk on day 2. Staying the saturday night in a hostel probably.
Who? Instructor: Ciaran Maguire, Group: So far its Mark Ahern, Conor Croke, Brendino, and Sara Hayden.
How Much? Depending on how much the hostel costs, i'd say €50 each, may be more may be less.
Ciaran's already put a prelimenary program together, but is keen to work on whatever you guys feel you would benefit most from, so I suggest we meet up for a chat sometime and put together some suggestions so that you guys get the best value from the weekend.
Any other questions, post up here or pm me and i'll get back to you. Thanks for everyones enthusiasm and help for this, and thanks to Dave B.
As for the advanced white-water skills/rescue I will keep people updated as to the progress of this.
Cheers, Roger .
