Title: Liffey Descent!!!
Post by: Ley-Ley on August 07, 2010, 16:06:25: 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!!!

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 & RÃƒÂona 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. :)

Arc is a fantastically situated bar. I say that you are from the middle of nowhere
