Wonder would there be interest, in joining myself and Dinny Dom .For a Sea paddle from Cappaquin to Youghal Bay surrounds.
Plan is May 1St. Would like advice from Paddlers who journeyed this river. I'm hearing it's got breathless scenery.

Any constructive ideas welcome .


Paddle now reversed .[u][b]Youghal to Cappaquin meet @ 10.30 2nd May .At Youghal Main Bridge .

Converted truck/ Diner on right side coming from Cork .

Shuttle to Cappaquin.

I'm available Noel if i can get a lift off someone cheers.

Sounds good. I'm arriving back from France that day though. Might be able to make the 2nd May, bank holiday.

Sounds good wasn't aware it's a bank holiday.

Move to 02 May .

Hi Maurice,

I will finalize Sunday .We had planned Cappaquin to Youghal but it's tidal water so High tide is 6 ish.Also we may have Easterly gusts.
May make sense reversing paddle.We have 6 paddlers confirmed .Will post Sunday PM .

Slan.

Ok we have decided to reverse the paddle .
Reason high tide and winds.



Meet at Youghal /Waterford main bridge near Road Diner.This is a large Blue Convereted truck on right side coming from Cork .

Meet at 10.30.We drop gear nearby and shuttle cars to Cappaquin.Ideally one large car completes shuttle.Feel free to organise yourselves .

Paddlers confirmed Seven .

See you there & bring your packed lunch & camera.

After a battle into the wind at the start this turned out to be an excellent paddle. Scenery was pretty impressive despite the rain. It would be well worth doing this again when it's sunny. Noel, can you arrange for the sun to be out next time as well as everything else?

Well done all who braved the adverse weather .

Rain held off for first half.But then the deluge.Still a very different paddle .Enjoyed immensely.

Had a look at Surf on route .WOW. . must try sometime.

Sorry guys should have got more .But persistent rain and unsealed cameras dont mix.......
