So i Hope everyone is getting excited about the ball!!
I know i am!!!
So although it does look like there will be feck all water in Wicklow next weekend we have devised a plan of action for before the ball!!!
The plan is to head to glendalough on a general hike/have the craic day!!!
There is a lake at glendalough if people wanna bring boats we can have a bit of a rolling clinic/flat water skills day.
I'd say the plan will to be meet somewhere near UCD around 11.am on saturday and head off from there. There will be no official club transport i.e. no bus, but there's plenty of drivers around hopefullt they'll be up for this as well.
Post up here if your interested and what you'd like to do and we'll see about getting it done. Cheers, yours in gingerness
Rog.

-
AWESOME! will i bring climbing shoes incase we mess around bouldering a bit as well?
anyone driving down? id love a ride ;)
-
I'm up for walking or a bit of flat water tomfoolery. Anyone driving down early with space in their car?
-
Carla, yeah sure bring climbing shoes! Just remembered there, who's up for a beerquila bomb at/before the ball?
-
I never fully understood the whole "we're only drinking this to punish our stomachs" mentality but yes, I'll join you for one.
-
the last time i had tequilla was my birthday.....ah sure why not! :)
ye i'm up for it if i can get a lift! how about a 15 hour walk where we all have to carry creeker/river runners then do some flat water playboating with them andd then go bouldering...??? fuck it i'm not gonna bother going to the ball 8)
-
Is the club hiring a bus or are you looking for lifts?
-
count me in

lifts

Hey mckevit, yeah as eoghan says we are looking to run the whole things by lifts, also if we are going to do a flat water session we would need a L2 instructor, would you be interested?
-
Want to do a re-hash of that day in dunlaorghie type thing? Could someone check out if it's okay to paddle in the lake. I'm sure it is but you never know. We also could do a level 2 assessment for anyone who doesn't have one. Just remember that I can only have six people for this.
-
Ha Eoghan your birthday was great. Shame you didn't make it.
-
Just remembered there, who's up for a beerquila bomb at/before the ball?
Yeah!! I aim to kill myself this ball!!
Would we be able to do both a paddle and hike? Also, till what time do we have the IMC hut till on the Sunday? I want to drive but if we have to be out of the IMC hut early I don't really want to.
-
I think I was one of the first people to arrive at the IMC hut last year and we weren't there until 5ish. Also, could I get a lift Leighton :)
-
That's all well and good Jer but that doesn't really answer my question, does it? No, now go away and think about what you've done.
-
Honestly, you are not fit to drive till late in the evening. We could drive down to glendalough and hike around the board walk. By the time we get back we will have at least done something to help with the hangover.
-
That's all well and good Jer but that doesn't really answer my question, does it? No, now go away and think about what you've done.
Sorry I misread it, we hung around pretty late (2/3ish?) until everyone was ok to drive last year, no one was there telling us to hurry up or anything. Can I get a lift now?
-
That's all well and good Jer but that doesn't really answer my question, does it? No, now go away and think about what you've done.
Ley there's not too strict a time on leaving on sunday, as jer said, 2/3 is fine, and as mckevit said we could go for a quick de-hangovering walk in glendalough before doing the drive to dublin, so by all means, lets destroy ourselves!!!
-
Sounds like a great plan, I'll be around for whatever's going on.
I would say though: the lakes in Glendalough are in a deep valley where they don't get much sun, and have recently only been fed by snow melt - I doubt rolling would be pleasant.
-
Just remember that I can only have six people for this.
Isn't Eoghan a lev 2 too?
ps, I'll probably drive
-
Ha Eoghan your birthday was great. Shame you didn't make it.
Ha ye.....someday I'll get you back.......ie. return the favour :)
ye ley can i get a lift too??
and yes if theres level 2 shtuff going on can i log my first hours...? really have to get on that :D
-
I'm up for whatever people are doing. I also need a lift down. (Leighton, you know I love you, right? 8) )
This is going to be great!
-
Doing something before would be good - hike sounds nice
Also anyone driving down that can fit a Finch in their car that could pick me up from Enniskerry cause it's my brothers 21st the night before ?? Thanks
-
That's going to be some Sunday hangover for you. Your body must really love you Finch.
-
Well considering I'm still recovering from this weekend I'm sure it's used to it by now ^-^
-
The balls gonna be a messy night can't wait!!!
I'd say we might leave doing a L2 thing, as it'll mean bringing boats and gear and stuff. Is this alright with people?
-
IT'S NOT THE DROPPING WELL!!
Yeah, I'd say a hike is grand enough. Eh, it seems the people coming with me are Eoghan, Jer and Clare. Sorry Rowan, you were pipped to the post!! That's what you get for not going to the board!!
-
All you need is two cars willing to bring gear down, now I am willing to dirve to dublin and then to wicklow if people want to get their level 2, log hours and do a little rescue training as well. I would not be as pushed to add another hour and half to my journey for just some hiking in glendalough, people would have to offer favours and at least some magic beans to entice me.
I would also add in CAPLOCKS, WE ARE A CANOE CLUB LET'S GO BOATING!
-

can i be in your car if u decide to drive.
and then you can show me how to be an amazing driver so i pass my test the next time!
-
if anyones going to from five onwards could i get a lift pwetty pweese!!!! ? ;D
-
ye if there ain't no paddling (waterfall in glendalough anyone??afro.gif <- wait a sec that'd be savage :D) more people can fit in cars!!
-
I should be driving down so can give lifts if people need one
-
You and Clare can fight over a space. :D
-
I should be driving down so can give lifts if people need one
would this so called driving be happening in the evening or in the morning?
-
I'm not sure yet...
-
I will bring my climbing shoes too. the weekend is going to be great i have a feeling ^-^.
Oh matt can i get a lift? 8) thanks
-
Can I grab a lift (from Enniskerry) ?? Please Matt :-*
-
Sorry guys, turns out I won't have the car for the weekend :(
-
Since we have a small transport problem, I am willing to add three hours to my journey time this weekend. Just remember it takes me 45 minutes to get to laragh from my house. I will drive to dublin and collect people, I see people in the canoe club don't want to go paddling so I will not bring my boat and gear. This means I can take four people in the car. I will be in dublin early and we can hike the board walk, drop down the zigzags and go bouldering above the miners village. Does that help people?
-
Bouldering eh? I shall try my hand at it!!
-
if teleportation is a reality evil.gif
like what he did ---> teleportation: real or not? you decide! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hK5JCvXYKPw&feature=related#)
Ley, tiny feet or toes are best for bouldering ;D that's what climbing shoes good for, make your feet appear smaller.

Glendassan Waterfall (the one at the top of Glendalough was run once by Jules (Death Wish) Dormer [prefer to be called Jewels]. There were people standing on all the rocks to guide him down the right line because it's so technical (just rocks basically). I had look at Poulanass before but only one bit looks doable and I don't think it's worth the mission. Otherwise though, the Glendassan river has some superb meanders above the upper lake you could try if there's a lot of rain in the area... Of course that would defeat the need to go to Glendalough in the first place. Depends, how low was it the day we had the big boatercross before the 30th Anniversary Ball?
-
I don't know kill, but there hasn't been a drop of rain in wicklow for near on a month I think....
-
