Irish Sea Kayaking Association

On her way past Wicklow thanks to Niamh and Sue, much appreciated! Waterford by Monday is the plan so I am told.

Hi Alan and thanks for the offer. Niamh is keeping an eye out for her. She is round Clogher Head but forecast for the next 24hr not great so she may make Howth tonight or else wait on weather until Thursday/Friday.

Cheers
Steve

She didn't mention it John, but she has seen a lot on the trip. Past Strangdford heading for Dundalk as of this morning.

Well she is round Malin, all south from here on. Something like 850km done so far and maybe 650km left to go.

Cheers

Well she made Donegal last night, crossing 50km from Easkey to Malin Beg in 8 hours. Many thanks to Sonja for talking her through the crossing.

Thanks Tee, yes she spent that night in Bunowen, and has literally flown up the Mayo coast since. According to Sonja, she is somewhere in Sligo Bay heading for Killybegs I guess. Last I heard from her she was in Killaha, but that was a couple of days ago (Sunday 17th). Cheers

Just heard from Niamh 12 midday Friday 15th, she is past Clifden and going round Achill. Belmullet next? Anyone who spots her maybe post a photo? She doesn't have a camera or Internet access herself. Thanks, Steve

Thanks for posting Connor and thanks to all who are helping her, from Jon down! Glad to see she is being responsible, spare paddle, leash, compass, chart, wearing her cag etc. per Jon and Sean she is heading for Arran Mor around now, and has some experienced company for this leg. Safe crossing! Chee...

Hi, my daughter Niamh is going for it this year a month after her 18th birthday, solo and unsupported and despite parental concerns. She left Schull just over a week ago and is somewhere round the Arran Islands I believe. A huge thank you to Jon and Sean :D who have given her so much support and enc...

Hi Pawel,

Call me a bit old fashioned, but I generally trust what I know. That said, who makes these boats (and where?) and do they have a web site with details, specs. etc?


Cheers, Steve
