Who's going?

I'd love to go but I'd like to get a practice run in the day before, I have an exam until 11am on the Friday though, I reckon I could make it down in time for a run though.

Assuming it's on, I'll be there. People can stay in mine on Friday night so we can get a run in that day

Might take you up on that

[DervM]

Would say I'm gutted to miss it - but I'll be in New Zealand and in no way gutted at all 

[Diarmuid]

I'm driving from Dublin directly after my exam, who wants a lift?

[Steven Mul]

Could I potentially grab a lift with you D?

[Diarmuid]

Yes

[Diarmuid]

Plan is:
Get boats + gear from boathouse Thursday
Go straight from Exam to Glens Friday (picking up whoever on the way)
Get a practice run in on the Friday
Stay with Ross
Do Race Saturday
Head to Nicola's
Paddle something Sunday (Boluisce?)
Come Home

Yeah, doubt it'll happen, any other plans? Boluisce?

[Zog]

Yeah, Finch is gonna contact a few NUIG heads and find out the crac with releases etc. though if someone else wants to get on to them as well? At very worst, we could do a run of the annamoe in the morning, and depending on how the rain is looking either drop the boats back to the boathouse or take them with us to galway.?

[Diarmuid]

Yeah, sounds good!

[MarieH]

I'll be looking for boating opportunities on Saturday. Keep me posted!

However, I'm a little concerned that I won't be part of the growing 'drysuit-club'!! 

[Zog]

Paddling happening Saturday, Bol uisce, caher, ennistymon or lower carraig, I gather it would be best to consult locals about levels and trees etc. , maybe even find someone to guide us down?

[Diarmuid]

Yeah I'm up for wherever, would like to get out on Friday too!

I know you've an exam Zog, still interested in getting paddling somewhere else Friday Steve (assuming Glens will have dropped off by tomorrow)?
