Title: Assessments 14-11-15
Post by: sara griffin on November 08, 2015, 19:47:03: Assessments are on our doorstep so time to put all the hard work from the last couple of weeks and absolutely Boss the assessments.

When: Saturday 14th November
Where: to be decided (level dependent)
The Plan: Meet at the boathouse at 10am to grab all your gear, pack the trailer and pile on to the bus.

What to bring:
• €15! €10 covers the cost of the bus and instructors and it’s only €5 when you pass your assessment! Woop!

• Warm clothes….you know the drill!!!! The chilly winter weather is really starting to be felt out on the rivers. When in doubt….add another layer…or three!

• A pair of old shoes! (Or wet booties if you have them)

• Towel and warm, dry clothes for afterwards!

• Some hot stuff! NOM, NOM, NOM. You’ll be trying so hard to impress those instructors, you’ll work up an appetite in no time ;-) Make sure to bring food – chocolate, cereal bars, etc. – with you. Flasks of tea or hot juice are always really appreciated!

Sign-up closes at 12pm Thursday so get your name sown before then to secure your spot. Throw down what level you are going for- two or three (if you know) and if you can make it.

Post by: Peter O'Sullivan on November 15, 2015, 22:20:58: While waiting for shuttle yesterday at Stackallen I pointed out where to paddle down the wier. This photo https://picasaweb.google.com/108250712605161593102/UCDCCMessageBoardPosts#6217505023291568210 (https://picasaweb.google.com/108250712605161593102/UCDCCMessageBoardPosts#6217505023291568210) explains better where the best lines where.

I've a few more photos from paddling that I'll put on line later.
