Post by: rog on November 09, 2009, 11:49:44
Hey guys, so its that time of the year again i.e.

So we will be heading to Wicklow this saturday, doing Ballards Bridge down to Clara Vale!!!

Here are the Directions (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&t=h&msid=108823805635426101819.000474f075743b1e6f591&ll=53.309118,-6.218195&spn=0.000689,0.002401&z=19) to the boathouse from the N11!!!

This week guys, please all of you make sure you have a full wetsuit with a fleece underneath or adequate thermals, decent footwear (old runners, booties or river shoes) and drykit! There are loads of wetsuits in the boathouse for anyone who mightn't have one yet.

Wicklow is totally an awesome place to paddle in, scenic, adrenaline pumping, and of course the clara lara fun slides... and is quite different to the trips we have run until now, YOU GUYS WILL LOVE IT!!!
