i've run the dodder a few times, mostly on dog low water but you can get down... one weir is a portage cause it drops about 10-12 foot onto rock..ouch!. there's also a big drop towards the end near the bus depot, you can see it from the road, but a bit of care would be advised, other than that just be careful of fallen trees..

Eoghan

oh right cool thanks for the heads up anyway dave! 10 ft drop onto rock you say...sounds tempting.......  :)

woop lets go paddling

What time are you guys leaving at, I might try and get my boat up today, otherwise I might not be able to get it up for the trip tomorrow.

Edit: 11.30 still?

Matt

we're meeting at 11.30, so probably leaving about 12

Might be 5/10mins late, just to give you the heads up

I think you picked the wrong sport...

Why not try a warm sport - like skiing, or ice fishing, or snowman building?

JODY

I'll probably be out on Fri, not sure what the plan is yet.

I'll have you know I'm very hardy to the cold. I spend most of my time on a river upside down!!

I'm sorry to bring your dreams crashing to reality guys, but there's been no rain in Wicklow and Sluice is back to only a meg...

Weren't we meant to be training on the Dodder on Friday anyway?
I know that nobody has actually "organised" that yet, but I would like the chance to mess about and get my fitness up...it may even be fun?

basically im up fpr paddling anywhere anytime(after 11am) on friday if possible!
