Whats been going on:

The following pictures are what i've been up to for the past few months! Ty has been mad busy and i've been up to so much i haven't had a spare minute!
Not much to write this time round, but i'll try to keep update as much as i can so i don't forget!!!

Over the past few months i've done more kayaking than ever before and have learnt a few new things. I've done the annamoe 4 times now in succession and have run it in every level possible: flood -> scrapey. The pictures are shite, sorry!


A kayaking session was held for the adults and it was pretty funny to watch them all to spraydeck tests etc. Theres to be a river trip after christmas for them which i hope to be able to go on and have a laugh!
As we headed into town for some christmas shopping to our dismay the dart was 100 minutes away! (It was an error :) )
On one of my many trips to the annamoe/avonmore this season one was in the floods, possibly a stupid time to run a river. It was Cathys first river trip and the level was big, bouncy and sporty. Scary and fun! So we got on and cathy capsized once and it was fine she swam and got back in, then i swam for the first time in a few years! and then she swam again, this time not so simple... After she surfaced i was ahead and heard some one shout head injury so i pulled into an eddy not sure if it was a joke or not and then i see Cathy being pulled along by Clara with blood running down her face. Then i kind of silently freaked out! We cut the trip short then and me and Cathy headed off to the swiftcare clinic with her parents where she got stitches. She hasnt been out since but its nicely healed and i'l be getting her back on the rivers after christmas although maybe just for a quiet trip on the liffey... :)
