What a weekend !!!

Stunning stunning weather and conditions.

Many thanks to Fiona, Emma and Sean for laying out the Orienteering course !!
Also for preparing the campsite. Your holes were great.
Huge thanks goes to the islanders Kevin and Marty for having firewood cut for us and for providing fresh water.
The locals at Kildysart were hugely welcoming and facilitated overnight camping for us at the pier and parking for the campers.

Great to see paddlers from all over. So many new faces.
Wonderful to see a big contingent from Phoenix kayak club in Cork.

Fiona no doubt will post pictures and details of the winning orienteering team.

Thanks to all the wiska paddlers. From laying out the course, to buying prizes, to coming on scouting paddles at LW over the last few months, to laminating perfect maps and digging holes, everybody helped.
Glad you all had a good time!
