Posted: Mon Jul 23, 2018 4:04 pm
How's everyone ?
Thanks a million to Margaret and her minions for organising a superb meet in Connemara.
The turnout for the ISKA meets so far this calendar year has been exceptional....having such great weather no doubt helps.
So onto the next one !
The plan is to have an overnight camp Saturday night on Inis Meain. This is wild camping...however the site has access to clean running water on the pier and picnic tables.
So this is the plan of action ( weather dependant)
Friday 17th Aug -
Peer Paddle to the iconic Cliffs of Moher down to Haggs Head. Stop for some tea and a stretch and back to Doolin taking in Stacks Arches Caves with an opportunity for a dip beneath the cliffs.
Meet 1300hrs Doolin Pier. On water for 1400hrs.
Spend night in Doolin enjoy the pubs and the craic and the music. Two campsites to choose from ; €12 per night.
