Well done to all that completed the descent today, especially those who did it for the first time. Fair play to you all. A great achievement.

There was a great turn out from the club & despite the rain and one broken paddle.....everything went according to plan & in some cases even better.... with our canadian duo & others arriving home completely dry with no swims! Well done lads.

Here is the link to the photos. http://picasaweb.google.com/118096041447552280676/20100904LiffeyDescent2010?authkey=Gv1sRgCOGQs8WpuPTq2AE#

There was a great buzz watching from the bank, so I can only imagine what it would be like if you did it...All going well next year......

Allana

Pity about the paddle though!

Great photos Allana and echoing the lads big thanks for doing the shuttle.

And just so you know, I never told you about that secret camera I had hidden in my life jacket, that caught everything at Palmerstown. I'll put it up over the next day or two

Great pics and glad you all enjoyed descent.
look up this site in a few days and put in tour bib no and your wish will come true emer a photo of you on Palmerstown www.macphoto.net.

Well done gang,

Day went well for all.
I think the nerves settled once we all got passed straffen and the constant reminding of the dreaded "log" in the weir

Great picks and thanks for the shuttle

A ya . . . . except palmerstown as you've pointed out there Ferg, bit of a stickler that one.

Fergus thats brilliant! What can I say me too! only that the guy directing us was asleep and I held on to my paddle and my kayak!

Nice one Fergus! Myself, Paul, mairi and Emer all did the same line as yourself.
A continuous low brace saved me from the same fate.
It was class though, going through palmerstown totally the wrong way. I'll do it again next year
