Title: Saturday 25th of March ,
Post by: Peter O'Sullivan on March 20, 2017, 12:30:17
Are people around for paddling on Saturday the 25th of March? Don't think we will have the numbers for a club trip with instructors so I'm thinking private trip. Given the lack of rain forecast it will probably be to the Boyne or Liffey. Any takers?

Have you ever paddled the Derneen/Derreen Peter? Down in Carlow, tempted to have a look at it, but not sure if the levels would be there to run it.

There is a video on Irish Whitewater, it looks pretty interesting,  there's no detail on how much rain it needs though

It's not all that far from the waterford moterway, if I'm going home that way later in the week I might go by, see what I can see. whitewater review looks interesting enough

Any interest in doing Rathdrum to the Meetings?

What time at the boat house suits people, I think Diarmuid said 11.30.
