Post by: Simon R. on January 18, 2012, 17:27:37: You all have to start practicing for the BoaterX as well! so whenever your next to someone on the next river trip push them over! remember the more aggressive you are the better your chances of winning.

Anyone swimming? leave them........ your practicing for a BoaterX you don't help swimmers its all about number one!

Post by: Matt Flood on January 19, 2012, 13:40:35: Hi guys,
Here's the dealio with what's going down on Saturday.

Everyone has to make their own way to the Wildwater Kayak Club [WWKC] in the Strawberry Beds.
Here's a map I've made to get ye there by car/bus -> MAP! (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=200531671079097350549.0004a3810ecf81ee5e90e&msa=0)
There are Fun Facts in the map notations that are fun aaaand educational ;)

There will be some people driving from UCD with a few boats. If you want a lift, contact them and be in UCD to help them with the loading of boats on cars.The rest of you can use public transport which is outlined in the map.
We are actually heading to the ICU training centre which is under the M50 toll bridge. When people get off the bus and head towards WWKC, car folk will ferry you the rest of the way.

Try to be at WWKC for 11.30am please.

See ye all there. afro.gif

I would have called it "The Bill Mobile", mostly so I could mispronounce it as "The Bill MoBill"

Title: Re: River Trip Saturday 21st January & Other News!
Post by: JODY on January 19, 2012, 15:33:15: Ok! Enjoy that!
I'll hold off till next week to try get out :)
Title: Re: River Trip Saturday 21st January & Other News!
Post by: DervM on January 19, 2012, 16:10:31: ... Can I put on some dubstep? (Have you got any stickers?)

Are some playboats being brought up for a bitta freestyle practice (hopefully ^-^)? If so then mine might be a grand one to try out for people and such. Sure I'll probably head up to UCD for 10 and help pack and get my paddles in with someone.

Title: Re: River Trip Saturday 21st January & Other News!
Post by: Ross on January 19, 2012, 16:53:48: Anyone else driving who has room? If not, does anybody want to make a group to take a bus there, to make sure I don't get lost which is very likely
Title: Re: River Trip Saturday 21st January & Other News!
Post by: Tiny Tim on January 19, 2012, 17:21:36: wait so is it the liffey centre or wild water?
Title: Re: River Trip Saturday 21st January & Other News!
Post by: Eoghan on January 19, 2012, 17:29:59: I'm driving too...room for 4 or 5 bitches!! afro.gif

it'll be based out of the ICU centre...(not wildwater) but some boats will be probably (car ferried) up from wild water

I don't approve of that kind of humour, Maryanne.

Bill disdains puns and prefers being called a wagon.

I might see ye, I'm logging hours with some of the DCU guys so should be passing.

Title: Re: River Trip Saturday 21st January & Other News!
Post by: Maryanne on January 21, 2012, 02:19:34: I'll be driving too, with a dishwasher in the boot, but room for 3-4 passengers (let's say 3 cos there'll be a reduced amount of boot space for gear)

25 attending - 3 don't need lifts - 6 drivers = 16 passengers

16 passengers / 6 cars = 2 cars with 2 passengers, 4 cars with 3 passengers
16 passengers / 5 cars = 4 cars with 3 passengers, 1 car with 4 passengers

CONCLUSION:
Evan, you needn't drive all the way out to the boathouse cos it's out of you're way and we can fit everyone in 5 cars.
Cillian, don't worry about boats for your car, we'll be using ICU/WW boats so we don't need to bring a bot per person.
