Thanks for the reply looking at grade 4 at easter time.but good start and got hold of book as well thanks again.

I have a related question.... I'll be visiting Ireland next spring by myself... does anyone know of any kayak schools or guide services? I don't really need the lessons, just some place to rent gear and have a person show me down the river.
