Fantastic start to the ISKA meets. Copper Coast did not disappoint. Both days were stunning with big sea and beautiful scenery on Sat and warm sunshine and equally stunning scenery on Sun. Great to catch up with the very friendly natives of the sunny southeast. Must have something to do with the sun or is it the Blaa. Special mention in dispatches for the host and hostess with the mostest, Stephen and Louise. Really impossible to have done any more for us to make our stay more enjoyable. Thank you again for your hospitality and for the weekend. Worth delaying by the week.

We're missing out guys. The Copper (Cu) Coast has everything. 90 miles from Newbridge (my cave address), 70 miles of which are a quick zip down the M9.

To put it in perspective for those "Kildare Paddlers of Excellence" (aka the K-CLUB), Skerries is 75mins away for me whereas the Cu Coast is 95mins away.

Big caves, small caves, slot caves, slit caves, geos, oughigs, zawns, mine shafts, twisted passage-ways, stacks of all sizes and shapes, cliff and beach, zig and zag channels, forgiving rounded submerged rocks, roofless caves, arches, tunnels, geological/rock gardens and islands, all within a few paddle strokes of easy parking. It's all there.

What a great opener for ISKA meets. The omens are good.

Mile Buiochas (no fadas) to Stephen for stepping up and organising. Thanks to all the "Southies" for leading and guiding, each in his turn.

Lads and Ladies, thank you all for the great welcome. As Arnold once said "I'll be back". Sennen

Delighted that everyone had such a great time :D
Maybe we also made the Guinness Book of Records for the most number of GoPros on an ISKA Meet !

Speaking of which here's some video from both days:
