It's time to get planning people! A few of us are putting together a rough summer plan, so who's interested?!?!?

So far,

When?
Everyone - 1st- 15th June
A week before and after level 4 paddlers might bum around for a while!

Who can come?
We'd love to say everyone, but sadly it's just not possible. Everyone who wants to come needs, by the time we leave, a confident roll and be able to run a grade 3 river happily. This means Annamoe-ish level. But don't worry if you haven't got that yet, we have time so don't be put off!

To keep it managable, we gotta limit numbers, so 12ish people max. That's 4 cars.

How will we get there?
Le ferry! Awesome craic last year, but it means driving.

Where would we be staying?
We would either be camping, or hopefully, renting a chalet! It would be as cheap as possile, we're all students/unemployed.

Find out more!
There's a talk on Wednesday, about our trip last year what we hope to do this time around!



Whoever is interested pop your name down here.

Tiny Tim

yeah id love a trip to france, depends on whether i get a job though

Jer

Yeah, I'm up for it. Already looking into getting a creeker.

Shirley

I'd definity be up for it.

rog

I'm up for it, depending on cash. One suggestion I would like to make though  (if there is not a big difference in price), is to stay in a challet instead of camping. I only stayed for 5 nights, so it wasn't too bad, but for a longer period i think i'd definately prefer to stay in a chalet, but then like i said if there's a massive difference in price, maybe not.

JODY

Actually (as i mentioned before we booked anything last year) the challet can work out cheaper, plus its far nicer if its raining.... only reason to camp is if you want to do multiple locations or have the option of moving.  :)

kjt

Yup the Chalets worked out pretty similar if not cheaper as Jody said. + it ends up cheaper for food as you have a fridge(can store big pots of grub) and don't need to refill gas etc etc
