Many thanks Gola weekend.

One of the best ISKA weekends I have enjoyed despite Maurice trying to put us all out of commission Friday night and part of Saturday!! A great send off to Marie who was part of the group visiting Sennan\'s 100 metre long tunnel through the cliff at the seaward side of Gabhla. We feared we would suffer the fate of Feilim\'s baidín but instead sailed through a fantastic paddle. I think Sennan should christen this tunnel Slí Saoirse to remind Marie why she needs to come back regularly.

Thanks to all organisers, Patricia

Yup, that\'s a fine tunnel. Alan Horner did a rescue in it, earlier in the day.

Many thanks to everyone for allowing me to TOGGLE along. This is the best trip around this area for me after six trips, it was bumpy and exciting. Also thanks for those who helped me and others with heavy-kayaks and looked after us.
Special thanks to Stewarts who kept talking to me while leading me through the dark tunnel. After turning 90 degree right to avoid getting knocked off the kayak and sharp turn to the left I remembered I was there in calm sea before, that trip we could paddle in row next to each other in case something jumped out from water or the walls.
Thanks to Maurice for boiling water from the fancy cooker/kettle for my pot noodle and to everyone during the two days\' trip .. everyone.. everyone.
Another brilliant trip with friends.

Yes another brilliant weekend. Thanks to all involved in organising and leading, especially Mary whose record in weather planning is second to none I think. See you all in Westport.

Brilliant weekend. Many thanks to all who organised the trip. Appreciated all the tips and advice from the more experienced members. Hope to see you all in Westport too.

Brilliant indeed.
Worth it for the cave on Gola alone.
Many thanks to Mary and the team for organising the paddle and taking care of us. Cheers

Indeed, that big cave was super, with the light coming in through the water - like paddling on the light. Did anyone get a picture ?
