Liffey Loving 14-2-15
« on: February 10, 2015, 14:05:44 »
Love is in the air (and water) this week. Our Valentines Saturday trip is to the lovely River Liffey. If you feel like having a tame after party session (yeah right), get in touch & offer your gaff!

 
When:    This Saturday February 14th
Where:    The Liffey for some river adventures !!

The plan:   Meet at the Boathouse at 10am
For anyone who has no idea where this superior storage house is, there'll be a committee member at the entrance to the gym at 9.45am to show you the way! We’ll pick our boats & gear, load everything onto the trailer and then pile onto the bus!

What to bring:    
•   €10! This covers the cost of the bus and instructors

•   Warm clothes!!!! (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!)


NB!!! If you haven't yet paid your membership, you must do so before this river trip! Otherwise, you won’t be able to join us  :-\

NB!!! If you haven't yet been to a pool session, you must go to one before this trip. Let committee know that it's your first pool session so we can take you through a few quick and easy safety drills. You don’t want to be wet and cold on the Liffey !!
