I recieved my app form in the post, so who else is doing it? A few freshers I hope!!! It's a good test of endurance but it's great fun especially if you don't mind talking to people who go by!!!
A lot of people think its a race. Its actually a reverse race. The winner is whoever gets passed by the most people, or whoever swims the most
I want to, think myself, Eoghan and Jer are doing it in the canadian. Where do we sign up?
Ooo, are you home??? :) :)
im doin it, not sure in what yet though .
you can download application forms at canoe.ie shirls
I would advise against doing it with 3 in a Canadian, it's too heavy. We came SECOND last (note not actual last) the year we did it with 3, we did, however, swim about thrice though? The following year Skel & RÃÂona came middleish with only 2 which was fairly awesome and they swam along the way so I think 2 is the way forward, or if you're going for 3 don't take the used-to-be-yellow Canadian we 'transformed'.
The party after is always good, and it's cool to say you've done it, so everyone should. :)
