Title: Paddlin on friday!!!
Post by: rog on April 05, 2009, 12:43:26
Hey, its supposed to be raining next week in Wicklow, if it is, is anybody up for paddling the Aughrim on friday? Seeing as though there ain't no college and all that, and if there is water it'll be a savage day out!!!

Actually i just checked the weather forecast for galway... And there is actually heavy rain forecast... Would people be for heading up to the Boluisce on friday?...

Or if there's any rain in Limerick we could go do the Clare Glens...

I think there's supposed to be more rain in Galway, but sure we'll see how the weather shapes up during the week.

We're meant to be together

And that's the deal my dear


Had to be done when you started a post with whenever where ever

Ah lads! No fair, I'm never gonna get to run the Glens  :'(

I'd go local on friday, Glens might be a bit of a stretch.

Post by: Ley-Ley on April 06, 2009, 10:03:21
Sure if there's room I'd be up for!! Depending on where it is, ha. Don't think I'd be able for the Glens, ha.

Guys, I'd love to join ya but Ill be in scotland (so much better than 'i dont have a right arm'!!)

One thing to note with all this Boluisce talk though , the Boluisce is damn/lock released, get onto the galway people about getting a release and planning a trip, I heard they are on good terms with the lock-keeper.

OR we could do BOTH in the same day! Think about it guys, two great rivers to paddle, loads learned and we'd get to spend time looking at Irelands sceanic beauty1. Then off home to watch CSI and go to bed 2. Who could possibly turn that down?






1 almost 600km worth!
2 assuming the driver doesn't fall asleep and plough into a tree

Title: Re: Paddlin on friday!!!
Post by: rog on April 07, 2009, 14:55:52
We have to wait to see what water levels will be like, since its been so dry recently i think we'll need a good bit of rain to get things working.
Title: Re: Paddlin on friday!!!
Post by: Matt on April 08, 2009, 15:34:42
Heavy rain due tonight and tomorrow... I'd say we could be on for Friday

Quote from:  Some guy on Irish freestyle
Hey Aisling wicklow is running at the moment. The glenmac was a lovely level yesterday, also the annamoe is running, checked it today and with the rain coming in again tonight the annamoe levels will be bigger tommorow

Wow, looks like we're pretty well sorted.
