This week’s mayhem awaits…
When: This
Saturday October
25thWhere: Wicklow, if water levels hold out (yep, think rain dancing), or the Boyne
The plan: Meet at the
Boathouse at
10amWe’ll pick our boats & gear, load everything onto the trailer and then pile onto the bus!
Give
Andy a text on
085 789 7269 or
Ross on
087 245 6200 if you’re not sure where to go!
What to bring: •
€10! This covers the cost of the bus and instructors
•
Warm clothes!!!! ….you know the drill !!
(avoid
cotton at all costs! It makes you very, very cold when you’re wet). Anything made out of
'poly-' materials is a good bet! Fleeces are great! Fleecy pyjamas are even better! Tights make a good layer, especially to pop over your fleecy layers before trying to put on a wetsuit (even the lads should consider investing!!) If you have a wetsuit bring it! If not, the club has a small selection of them...try to get to the boathouse on time to get first pick!
You can never, ever have enough layers!!!
So here’s your essential guide to keeping nice and toasty on the river ;
http://forum.ucdcanoeclub.com/index.php/topic,10222.0.html • A pair of
old shoes! (Or wet booties if you have them). For this trip socks won’t work...the water is going to be low, so if you come out of the boat, you'll be stepping on rocks (which is not fun in socks!) If you don't have a pair, pop into your local Penneys or Tesco and pick up a pair of cheap shoes!
•
Towel and warm, dry clothes for afterwards!
• Some
hot stuff! Flasks of tea, soup, hot blackcurrant...they'll all be much appreciated on the bus home!! And chocolate bars or cereal bars!! Nothing better than some sugar after a fun day on the water (avoid things that aren't in wrappers though, cause you won’t want to wait to wash your hands before eating them!)
Sign-up closes as usual on
THURSDAY at
9pm.
