Beginners Kayaking for 10 adults?

Zamboni · 09-03-2009 2:25pm #1

Hi folks,

Looking for somewhere that this can be done around Dublin, Meath, Wicklow?
I've had a look on the net but seems to be very kid orientated.
Just something for a couple of hours on a lake/river.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

You could try East Wall Watersports. Amazing club they have there, hot showers and all!!

Thanks folks,

I will try Deep Blue Dyf.

I did the East Wall place a few times some years ago.
All I remember is that the water was wrank

Cheers

I'd also look at Wild Water Kayak Club based on the strawberry beds. www.wwkc.net, they run great beginner courses for adults and/or kids.

Get in contact with these guys.
Brian Keogh and his partner are great arun adult courses - very relaxed.
I see them a lot on Blessington Lake and they have plenty of kayaks

hi
I would also recommend deepblueseakayaking. Also checkout http://www.shearwaterseakayaking.ie/ based out of Howth. Both are adult orientated.

Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion ZuppyLark, but Galway is a bit to far for me, I'm in north Roscommon.

Ah come on, your all up the west, it can't be that far. :-)
These days if you have 10 people and water, most coaches will come to you. :-)

Ha! I'll pop on the motorway from Roscommon to Galway!

I've got the water but only 2 people (me being one of them!).

I'm thinking of doing a weekend course run by canoe.ie. Looks like the best way for me to get my feet wet!

KenHy · 22-05-2009 2:51pm

yea, the courses run by the ICU are very good (the canoe.ie ones) other places you could look at for up Letrim area, theres a new club being set up in Sligo, don't know much about it but if you contact the ICU (office@canoe.ie) they should be able to give you details.
