Hey folks, here's the plan...

We'll be meeting at the Old Head Pier at 10am Saturday. For those who don't know it, you take the R600 out of Kinsale for about 3km, then turn left onto the R604; follow for approximately 5km and it's on your left with a caravan park opposite.

We'll be paddling the Old Head, taking in the arches if possible and onto Garrylucas where we can pull in for icecream, yay it's going to be icecream weather :-)
Then we'll continue west to our campsite at Howe's strand. From there, we have a couple of options available to us for an evening paddle, depending on how close people want to get to civilisation (or the pub!)
For those joining us Sunday, the planned launch time is 10am to head west around the Seven Heads, landing at the beach in Dunwhorley at approximately 2pm.
There will be at least one vehicle waiting there to get the shuttles going.
Any other queries, 0866062035 will get me.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Sandra :-)

Probably best if people just bring whatever drink they want cos I'm not taking any responsibility for drinking and paddling lol :-)

I've been thinking about the evening paddle and am reckoning against going near civilisation so will most likely head out towards horse rock if people are up for it :-)
