Weather Proof Fun - Kerry a Paradaise for Paddlers!

It's not only because of the summer we've just had - but Kerry is paradise for paddlers!

To those in the know, the hundreds of miles of coastline and the great bays of the South West provide some of the finest sea-kayaking in the world while our lake and river systems allow fresh-water canoeing and kayaking at all levels; from the serene Killarney lake valley to the white-water power of the mountain spates.

Celebrating this resource, Sport Corran Tuathail at the Killarney Outlet Centre and Nathan Kingerlee of Outdoors Ireland are facilitating a dedicated weekend aimed at introducing people to the pleasures and adrenaline rushes of white water.

On Saturday & Sunday, September 27th & 28th River Laune - Beaufort Bridge (located on the Ring of Kerry - Killarney - Killorglin Road). Free two-hours introductory sessions with qualified guides commencing at: 9 am, 11 am, 1pm and 3pm. All equipment will be provided, but pre-booking is essential by contacting Nathan Kingerlee on: info@outdoorsireland.com or 086 860 45 63. Nathan stated "This is an invitation to learn strokes and techniques over a couple of hours involving easy rapids, allowing the flat-water paddler or complete novice an opportunity to learn the basic skills of white-water" The classes are for ages 18 and over all levels of swimmers are welcome as long as they have some confidence in the water. Buoyancy Aids are provided

On Sunday, September 28th from 2pm to 6pm at Sport Corran Tuathail in the Killarney Outlet Centre Nathan will be offering free consultancy, on choosing equipment, discussing the best places to paddle and self improvement; white-water kayaking, lake/river canoeing, sea kayaking and surfing.
