Title: Saturday 28-3-15
Post by: Vettie on March 25, 2015, 00:15:50

So it's already into week 8 and the end of the year is in sight. Before you commit to the library get in your fill of kayaking before the long summer! ;) This weekend's river trip will focus on the skills needed to pass both Level 2 and Level 3 Assessments which are in just over two weeks time on Saturday April 11th. Its one of your last opportunities to practise so make sure that you're there !!

When: This Saturday March 28th
Where: It's looking like the Boyne
The plan: Meet at the Boathouse at 9am;D

What to bring:
• €10! This covers the cost of the bus and instructors

• Warm clothes!!!! (avoid cotton at all costs! It makes you very, very cold when you’re wet). Anything made out of 'poly-' materials is a good bet!  Fleeces are great! Fleecy pyjamas are even better! Tights make a good layer, especially to pop over your fleecy layers before trying to put on a wetsuit (even the lads should consider investing!!) If you have a wetsuit bring it! If not, the club has a small selection of them...try to get to the boathouse on time to get first pick!

You can never, ever have enough layers!!! :-[
So here’s your essential guide to keeping nice and toasty on the river  afro.gif ^-^; http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10222.0.html (http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10222.0.html)

• A pair of old shoes with a small heel! (Or wet booties if you have them). For this trip socks won’t work...the water is going to be low, so if you come out of the boat, you'll be stepping on rocks (which is not fun in socks!) If you don't have a pair, pop into your local Penneys or Tesco and pick up a pair of cheap shoes!

• Towel and warm, dry clothes for afterwards!  ;D

• Some hot stuff! Flasks of tea, soup, hot blackcurrant...they'll all be much appreciated on the bus home!!  And chocolate bars or cereal bars!!  Nothing better than some sugar after a fun day on the water (avoid things that aren't in wrappers though, cause you won’t want to wait to wash your hands before eating them!)

This is the 2nd last river trip before assesments, and next week is Easter, so if any of ye are going home for that, this will be your last trip, so make sure you know what's on the syllabus for what Level you are going for, and if there is anything you don't know or are shaky on, ask us in the pool, or the instructor on the river!

L3 Syllabus: http://canoe.ie/river-kayak-skills-award/

L2 Syllabus: http://canoe.ie/generic-skills-awards/

Oh, and I'm going :D

Don't forget the Awards night afterwards!
