Title: Sluicing Saturday 24-1-15
Post by: Vettie on January 20, 2015, 21:16:55: For anyone having Kerry withdrawal symptoms, Wednesday & Thursdays pool sessions are back this week afro.gif Plus our very first Saturday trip is this weekend! Keep an eye out for details on Varsities February 6th-8th ^-^ Less than 3 weeks to go !!

Saturday Trip
When: This Saturday January 24th
Where: Sluice Static, plenty of BoaterX practise, as well as a possible long distance session

The plan: Meet at the Boathouse at 10am

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

•Warm clothes!!!! It's set to be a cold weekend :-\
(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!!)

You can never, ever have enough layers!!!
So here’s your essential guide to keeping nice and toasty on the river; 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! (Or wet booties if you have them)

•Towel and warm, dry clothes for afterwards!

•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!)
