Title: Paddling...sometime?
Post by: Douchier on April 30, 2012, 21:48:18: I know that you're all doing exams, but I also know that a lot of you have a few days off and what-not between exams and might want to take a few hours off to relax and get away from things.

So...paddling?

Don't be shy; Liffey? (http://www.liffeyreleases.com) Wicklow? Moon?

Sluice is working most of the time at the moment ( takes a releases of 8cumecs or more). You don't have to want to surf the wave to go there either, it's also the best spot on the river for all those skillz and movez you's gotz.

Presonally I'm free most evenings, Fridays and possibly weekend days.

What about you guys?

Title: Re: Paddling...sometime?
Post by: Douchier on May 03, 2012, 01:00:03: Boom indeed.

There doesn't seem to be much rain on the way. I reckon that there could still be some water in Wicklow on Saturday, but Sunday could be stretching it a bit.

So...who's driving?

Friday could work too if anyone else is free?
Sluice after sounds great too, it's working at a nice level at them moment.

I am going to procrastinate all over it.
Title: Re: Paddling...sometime?
Post by: Maryanne on May 03, 2012, 17:21:11: Once a driver appeared for Friday/Saturday/Sunday the trips became anything other than imaginary, so I moved the driver's post and anyone else's who specifically said they wanted to paddle on that day to a new thread.
