Either way, camping from Friday evening til Sunday morning...
This east coast meet will take place, in the district of Fingal, North County Dublin with ONSHORE camping in Portrane - thanks to eddieoshea
Basic facilities include free parking, camping, running water & latrines.
There will be some shuttles involved to get to and from the put in and take out points, but with many hands on deck, we shall seek to avoid utter chaos and confusion.
I'm sure we'll find many things to tickle your tastebuds, tide races, islands, wallabies, playspots, rocks, water, Fishes, lighthouses, trips to the Skerries isles, Rockabill, Lambay, Irelands Eye and Howth Head. Don't forget to do some shopping while you're near the big smoke, for those all important kayak accessories and I-Canoe for any small items U may have forgotten! The http://www.greatoutdoors.ie/shop/equipm ... t Outdoors for all your camping and (surprisingly) outdoors equipment are also kindly sponsoring this event.
There is also an opportunity to land, a greeting by Lord Revelstoke & tour of the Lambay Island Castle Gardens, as well as a ramble to take in the views from the NW corner of the isle. A minimum number of participants is required, therefore if you'd like partake of this tour, please pay ASAP the fee to cover the very reduced cost (planned for Sat.30/6/18) at https://www.paypal.me/DaveKayaks/21.10. If you don't want to do the land tour, there will be leaders to continue the circumnavigation by sea.
In order for the logistics department to make some guesstimations and prepare accordingly, please post up, if you are planning to join us.
Exact trip plans to be confirmed closer to the dates, weather dependent etc. Ronan McArdle (the man responsible for getting me into sea kayaking) has 'volunteered'
