Liffey Descent!!!
« on: August 07, 2010, 16:06:25 »
I recieved my app form in the post, so who else is doing it? A few freshers I hope!!! It's a good test of endurance but it's great fun especially if you don't mind talking to people who go by!!!

A lot of people think its a race. Its actually a reverse race. The winner is whoever gets passed by the most people, or whoever swims the most

I would advise against doing it with 3 in a Canadian, it's too heavy. We came SECOND last (note not actual last) the year we did it with 3, we did, however, swim about thrice though? The following year Skel & Ríona came middleish with only 2 which was fairly awesome and they swam along the way so I think 2 is the way forward, or if you're going for 3 don't take the used-to-be-yellow Canadian we 'transformed'.

The party after is always good, and it's cool to say you've done it, so everyone should. :)

Arc is a fantastically situated bar. I say that you are from the middle of nowhere

The laziness got the better of me, I'm not doing it this year. I would help out of rescue though!
