Overnight Kayak

blueb

Hi all

Myself and my buddies are going on a camping trip before one of our long term friends heads for asia to live and work.

Our spot is out on an island on a lake in Galway.. Galway is where im situated

Im looking to rent a kayak for the night or even to buy a dinghy for under 100 euro

Can anyone help out with suggestons please. I have seen some ok dinghy on ebay but i dont have paypal and i think by the time i set that up and order one.. it may not be here on time...

The excursion is on Friday 4th July


Thanks All

This reads like the start of an incident report.

To be honest if you are not an experienced paddler it's not a great idea. There are some great places to wild camp in galway you could have a great time without going near the water.

You're speaking to people who are experienced paddlers here. What you're suggesting is a bad idea and could end with death. We generally don't help people top themselves around here.

how are you suppost to get experience? im not paying for lessons

do you think 2 footballs in a backpack would be ok as a life jacket? the light dora the explorer ones

lol. Where did you get the boat by the way?

you should join a kayak / canoe club. that way you get to use the gear and improve your skills over a year. they are not mad expensive to join.
