Hi All,
Paddlefest is CANI's annual event aimed at paddlers of all ages, abilities and preferred disciplines. The 2011 event will be held at Tollymore National Outdoor Centre near Newcastle Co Down.The main theme of paddlefest will be journeying and expedition skills. There will be a team of experienced coaches running a range of workshops and sessions which hope will provide you with the skills and motivation to plan your own trips.Manufacturers and suppliers of paddlesport and expedition equipment will attend the event which is a great opportunity to see what’s new and to talk to the experts.
This weekend is great craic, if you are interested follow the below link.

A bit expensive, don't you think.????

It is cheaper than staying at Tollymore any other weekend.. Plus you have around 20+ coaches and guest speakers to give you advice, plus retailers will be there to let you try before you buy...

I've considered Paddlefest a few times but I just can't justify the cost unfortunately.
