Re:Peer Paddle, West Coast Tue 29/06

Here are a few more pics showing Inishloe Island and Canon Island. The abbey on Canon island is impressive and in remarkable condition. The weather didn\'t do it much justice however. http://picasaweb.google.com/brianj.macmahon/InishloeAndCanonIslandsCoClare# Enjoy ! Mac Post edited by: brianmacmah...

Re:GPS Units

I take it you don\'t like your \"expensive new toy\" ?. Like everything else it has its upsides and its downsides; The major downside is that most handheld units EAT batteries when left on. A good upside is that the unit is handy for monitoring your speed over ground, or in our case speed...

Re:Westie Peer Paddle Tuesday 25th May

Nice pics Conor, God knows it wasn\'t for lack of trying. I thought I was going to have to point the headlights of the car out to guide you back to the beach.
