-
yeah i'm there!! why can't we get some something at the top of the avonmore and have constant water...i think some civil engineers could put themselves to good use...
i'll be there... afro.gif
-
There is a lake. However rain patterns have changed over the last ten years, leading to heavy rainfall events but spaced out. There has also been a reduction in the bog around wicklow, the bog acted like a shock absorber and kept the rivers feed with a constant stream rather than a flash flood scenario.
-
I was so excited and thought that I might actually be able to go, but then I remembered that I have a meeting on Saturday afternoon at 3 >:(
-
Wicklow wicklow wicklow!!!

we could have built a snow man kayaker in one of the boats as well- with all the gear on! and taken him on the trip!
-
I was on my bike headin to meath and you back out, why can you not just man up eoghan :)
-
Cancelled!?! >:(
What am I supposed to do with my day now?! >:( >:( >:(
I was really looking forward to freezing kayaking!! Humph.
-

ha i was scared you weren't gonna be man enough for it...proved me wrong! next time... :)
-
Still plenty of snow around...could still make that kayaker afro.gif
and here's a tip....pack the snow/hail stone very tight, that way it becomes dence ice and will take a LOT more heat to melt that jjust losely putting it together.
-
When it's like this find a hill and bring a boat... the rest is up to you!
-
Don't put four people on the boat at one time though.
-
I will second that!!! It's a very bad idea... you end up being quite smushed!!!
-
Third. :'( Two people of a similar size work well though! ;D
-
I'll fourth that, here's the video of it (http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=461879487679) hehehe. I cut it just before the blood bit ;)
-
In my day we had to walk for miles in the snow... barefoot. Then we'd make our canoes out of twigs we found lying around. Four to a boat there'd be, for warmth. No gear back then. Bare naked was the best way. Huddled together. Then we'd run back to our clothes at the top to dry. Then we'd get back to the cars (manpowered), have 17 bottles of stout each and drive home. You guys have it so easy.
-
And the stout wasn't for pleasure it was purely for warmth, false warmth at that. Better in everyone's day but today's.
-
Can't argue with that
-
Kayaks were measured in their beer holding capacity not litres!
-
No airbags, just kegs
-
A spud can hold a slab of guinness before it begins to suffer any ill effects.
-
An Aqua Bat could hold all the beer in the world and not go the wrong way... because whichever way an Aqua Bat goes is the RIGHT way!
-
Is that the one shaped like a barrel and jacksons didn't exist until someone crash through what was a fla section causing the ground to drop on the otherside. It was fordie wasn't it since he created Kerry and the pop out.

Beer is also usually measured in litres.

In my day the metric system hadn't even been invented by a scary french girl with a beard! that's right it was better in my day and there were sweets and chocolate for all and for two and five you could live like a king!

There's always one, and it's usually fucking mark

clearly pints
-
Are kayaks measured in litres? The little mamba is little but I was sure it had more than 8.1 litres in it.
-
So the mystic is so named because it's so massive, no-one knows it's capacity. Not even Ghandi.

Don't be silly; nobody fucks computer scientists.

Ah, one so rarely sees a semicolon on the internet that is not in a smiley!

I'm all about correct use; of semicolons
