Hi
I\'m wondering if anybody can give me a lift from Dublin to Dungloe on Friday afternoon? It\'ll just be me - Barbara\'s bringing up my boat and gear. I\'m hoping for a 5 p.m. start?

Thanks
Maeve

Plan remains the same.. camping in Dungloe Friday night, meet in the Super Valu car park 1000hrs Saturday.
Hope to do a tour of the isalnds SE of Gola and Gola and camp on Gola. If weather as Met Eirean are giving, it could be a bit damp. I think I\'ll go with the BBC forecast as its giving showery. Sunday looks promising from all weather web sites.

Plans will be finalised on Saturday morning.

Please bring your garden trowel or be prepared to use the intertidal zone on the island. No suprises under stones.:whistle: Everything else carried in, carry out.
Any queries.. 087 6619347

Well done Mary, and your weather high priestess, for another great Donegal weekend. Owey and Cruit are great, great islands, and Gola\'s no slacker either.

29 paddlers rightly ignored Met Eireanns forecast and made the weekend an enjoyable one for all. The weather gods were on our side yet again and plenty of islands and miles were logged.

Thanks to Ciaran \'Leader\' Clissmann and Alan \'Back Marker\' Horner who kept it all together and to those who kept an eye on the back and sides!

Ciaran, any truth in the rumour that you\'re going to show us all how to do that handbrake turn thing you did just off Gola? I can see it being part of the ISKA handbook ...

Thanks to Mary for all the organising and to Ciaran and Alan for the leading and sweeping. Another great weekend that lived up to the high expectations and made the long journey worthwhile.
