How's everyone,

Well the forecast is looking great for the weekend. The worlds our oyster. Perfect paddling conditions promised.



Many many thanks !!!!

Really looking forward to the weekends paddle.

Folks, just a thought for either Saturday or Sunday’s paddle if the weather is as predicted at time of posting. Setting off from Cleggan Beach, first stop Shark Island to look around the old village and visit the bothy. We will then head for Boffin for a second stop before heading back in.

This is a round trip of circa 23/24km. Mindful of the two crossings, with two stops on the route, this is a lovely paddle.

The paddle for the other day is likely to be Friar and hopefully High. As of now it looks like both choices are on the cards, the actual conditions will determine the day.

Depending on numbers and experience, alternative more localised options likely also available. Something for everyone.

Sounds great.

Good to have an idea in advance of what's planned.....weather dependent of course.

Thanks

There's good parking (a car park) and launching at Selerna for Bofin and Shark. More or less the 'last accessible beach' on the S side of Cleggan Harbour. GR L587 585

An extra 5K would get us around Bofin, if there was an appetite for it.

Could be fun +there a big blow hole on the north side

What a weekend !!!

Thanks a million for coming out and making it such a success. We all raised €600 for the RNLI and we survived Peter and Mayo Dave's cooking only messing it was wonderful as always.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this Meet a success.
