Irish Whitewater Forum

Thanks for the advice Dave - will get in touch with a local club for the next outing.

Thanks for the reply Adrians. We ended up giving it a go last weekend.

It was such a great adventure and beautiful scenery. The water level was very low alright but we only had to lift kayaks over two small sections. Having said that the boats got a bashing.

We were capsizing alot in the first ...

Hi,

I've been Sea Kayaking for the summer and keen to try a gentle river in Wicklow.

Would the lower Avonmore run (Rathdrum to the Meetings) be safe for a sit-on Kayak?

thanks,
E
