Title: Sea kayaking in Cork
Post by: Karen on March 12, 2012, 17:48:28

Thinking about going sea kayaking in Cork on the weekend of the 31st-1st, hopefully with camping in the evening, would anyone be interested?

This is still very much in the planning stage.

Also, does anyone know where you can get hold of sea kayaks????

Turns out there aren;t many boats available, it's the school easter holidays or something.

Another time!

Can we go sea kayaking during the summer? The weather will be better so we can camp on a island or something and I can go :-)

why not rent them there so we can paddle them back to the rental place and not have to deal with transport?

weather would be more reliable for camping in august (irish reliable) since were about to hit april...
on a related note next month there should be some nice levels on the steps in dundrum shopping center keep the broken boats!
