Beginners Kayaking for 10 adults?

Zamboni

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.

talk to these guys. Des is a great guy and will probably be able to help you out.

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.

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!

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.
