Title: Alps! Or other forms of Summer Paddling?
Post by: Nuala on February 09, 2011, 19:01:57

So after the amazing Alps talk on Monday who's up for a bit of a meetup to see who is free, when they are free and what they are interested in doing? Some evening next week?

Myself: I'm free from the 20th of July to the end of August (not sure what date). I'm happy to go anywhere in Europe (preferably not too expensive). I'd like to get somewhere where there is harder stuff - but am happy to help run a club trip and act as rescue also.

Norway, mid-late August? It gives people an unbroken run for getting jobs/doing theses. Or France end of June/early July - we have more experience of France but it has been disappointing before.

i'm very interested! no idea what dates suit me as I could end up doing an internship..as a result i can probably take 2 weeks holidays or so, so i'd slot them into whenever there's foreign paddling...end of may i'd be free and would LOVE to get back to italy at some stage but again i'd be happy helping on a club trip too - with the idea to get hard stuff done too (a full on 2 rivers a day for 2 weeks would help me sitting in an office for the summer...)

lets have a meeting on going...their soo exciting...  :)

I'm very interested in doing anything I'm able for..  :D

This is my priority for the summer so I plan on working everything else around paddling, so I'm free whenever, essentially  afro.gif

Happy to attend a meeting too. Not free next wed evening but anything else is fine.

I'm the same as Nuala basically, 21st June to August, but I think something in August would suit me better for working and all that.

I'd like to do some vaguely pushiy things too.

I WANT A HOLIDAY! If I get a job I might be able to take a few days off but more likely I will have to work my first summer! I also hate my life!

I'm interested, at the moment I've no plans for the summer, but I am trying to apply for internships too. I'll definitely come to a talk about going, I just don't know when I'm free yet.

Shall we say 8 at the board seen as that seems to suit most people? or will we put it off a week or so...?

Someone needs to kind of grab the meeting by the balls Nigs!

Tomorrow is good for me. I'll send out a text and see who else is interested, it would be nice to get most of the drivers/senior rescue to see whats possible so if there's only a few of us who can make it tomorrow we might reschedule.

Hey guys,
a lab report that turns out to be due today is currently holding me hostage in the library  :'(
I'm going to keep at it and might be able to pop down, but I'd be late too, so do start without me!

-I would hope to have the car + might like to insure a co-driver if I do (if that was possible)
-am open to being insured to co-drive someone else's car
-at the moment I'm free all summer, but that could change if I get an internship
-I'm open to France, Italy, Austria, Norway...anywhere
-I'm also looking at ICU and Gene17 courses, in case a group doesn't work out/for the craic!

Hopefully see you all soon...
