Re: Sea Kayaking Courses at Kinsale Outdoor Education Centre
Good luck with the new job and the centre Jon. Having completed the 5 day ISKGA IM Course with Jon I can highly recommend this course. I learned more on this course than any other sea kayaking course I have done over many years.

Re: ISKA 2017 Symposium
Looking forward to all the testing conditions and to meeting up for the social aspect of the Symposium. There is a NSE and W coast in the Belmullet area so we will get a paddle in no matter what, in what is one of the most scenic areas of the world.

Re: Strangford Meet STILL ON Update 23 24 Sept 17 WEATHER,
Great meet. Killyleagh centre was fantastic. Great drying room - only one set of gear needed. Thanks to Peter and his many helpers for a very enjoyable weekend on beautiful Strangford lough. We were traveling at 15kph or 7.5 knots Fiona.
20knots - 40kph !- you'd be done for speeding.

With a child you have 30 secs to identify the signs and reach the victim. Watch the video link at the bottom to see how difficult it can be to s...
