I am so jealous...I have been following www.irishcanoekayak.com on their Facebook page (they do training & trips here on the Barrow)in hopes of doing one of the beginner's days this summer- tho' with recurring shoulder issues, I don't know if this will ever happen. I have just lived vicariously through your post :) Thank-you! Good for you!

The shock of the cold water would kill me. I do admire anyone who can or is willing to try. I am enjoying the journey from dry land. Hand on heart, I would never do that.

This is very impressive and I am in awe of someone taking on a river like the Shannon, it must be scary in parts. I have never done kayaking so I can't really talk. I see the rowers on the Blackwater at Cappoquin boat club when passing on my bike and they look so graceful all sculling away in unison. Perfect harmony! All the best, Catherine. (Fraid I didn't get my hands on this month's book as library is closed for repairs and it's annoying me!) Hi Lily – well done and you thought I’d done some sport with the cycling!

Could you not stick up a little sail on your kayak and make use of that wind? ;-) I love the first pic... are those blackberries on the river bank? Lily,
