Canoe poling day

Post by paddymcc » Tue Jun 24, 2008 3:25 pm

Irish canoe kayak are running a canoe poling day on Saturday the 19th of july,
Canoe poling is a skill that is needed to navigate shallow rapids, flows and other parts of the river and most of all its loads of fun too.
We are running this day course with the idea of introducing this aspect of canoe sport to people or to help people who have tried it before become more confident in their abilities.

Location: Thomastown, River Nore
Date: 19th july
Time : 10am till 4pm
Cost €60 or €80 euro (if you require a boat and gear)

Included in the cost every person will recieve a pole to use and take home with them.
Limited amount of places so if you are interested then you should contact us soon.
Camping, B&B's and hotels are available in the area for those who wish to stay over night and a morning poling session on the barrow will follow on the sunday followed by the 180kayakclub race from graig to st mullins.
