Eight club members swapped the sea and in many cases their boats for an altogether different experience taking part in the Liffey Descent last Saturday (4th September). It was an action-packed day with members paddling in doubles, canadians, K1 race boats ... and even a few sea kayaks. Whilst for some it was obligatory to race, for many others it was just a bundle of laughs in a different environment.
The start is in the K-club (golf) grounds at Straffan, staggered with the fastest boat classes going first. But there are still up to a hundred or so boats in each class and not much space between them. See what happened to our crew at Straffan Weir, just a few minutes after the start!
Aye up, it was a great day indeed. Cheers to Herve who waited for me at the portage. Perhaps not the best idea we ever had Herve. Here are some more photos for Bridins sister Catriona. The photos need to be edited as there are far to many.
