Title: Emm... something interesting
Post by: kjt on April 28, 2008, 03:45:51
Ok guys and gals. This may or may not be news to you but I sure wasn't aware of this. If you don't like slimey things/creatures and like paddling don't look any further..












I was on one of my usual photography forums and just saw a shot taken on the boyne today. I didn't know their were eels on the boyne  ??? Ha!

I going down Aghade rapid once (on the Slaney) when I felt a pain on my knee. I popped my deck and had to pull a leech off and throw it in the water.
