Guys this is'nt sounding good. Can you hire a canoe if you become a member or do you have to be a coach?

Our bushcraft project could be to build a bushcraft Corricle!!!!

and paddle over that way.

Yip we are up for a trip to Salt Island.

What about the weekend of the 15th August. Would round of my holidays nicely

kendogbaggio · « **Reply #20 on:** August 03, 2009 »

Is this crossing possible in a perception whiplash. I know its a river runner but i have been out in lough neagh a few times in rough conditions its tight enough goin esp trying to keep my tracking in a straight line $:-\$ What distance is it? and anymore ideas on dates etc

Hound of Ulster · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2009 »

I would say anything is possible depending on the weather.

For those of you not coming this weekend camping, we may get a date sorted soon for Salt Island, but currently Jono is hammock playing and hoping he doesn't fall out off it this weekend.

Seriously though a couple of long ropes and rubber rings and we could tow the non boaters over

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to chase up the Salt Island idea again. The weekend of the 15th suits me to a degree (I was supposed to be at a birthday party but I can just apologise and buy a bigger present

))

The question is more about the weather - Strangford Lough is a massive pain in the ass when the winds over about 10mph - moreso depending on the tides. Either way if the weather was clement I'd be game and bring my 11 year old with me too.

Just to be clear, when I said I'd bring my 11 year old I meant boy not Scotch although both would be fine

is anyone going ahead with this?? Been away for a few days and missed loads it appears!

billy backpack · « **Reply #25 on:** August 14, 2009 »

Not really sure its been awful quiet about this proposed trip , we all seem to be over committed at the mo in one way shape or form $:-\$

Michelle · « **Reply #26 on:** August 14, 2009 »

RedLeader · « **Reply #27 on:** August 14, 2009 »

We're having issues getting time and weather. Still plenty of weekends left tho!

Marko · « **Reply #28 on:** August 20, 2009 »

Hi guys,

I'd be interested to join you for the Salt Island trip if it goes ahead in September.

I would have a spare seat in a Canadian canoe if needed to get out there and back.

Mark

Is this trip doable on sit on top double kayaks? I could prob get my hands on 15 of these at a small rental price including paddels and bouyancy aids...........
