Title: Beleek to Limerick 2010
Post by: b0ogaloo on February 21, 2012

For anyone thats bored ... 254 pictures from my kayak trip in 2010,

We did this to raise funds for a breast cancer charity called Casting for Recovery
The locks at Annacrusha were as far as we got .. they wouldn't let us down the canal as there were two turbines running .. Still we did 249 miles in 11 days .. We actually did it in ten days . severe gales postponed  our crossing of Lough Ree by a day

Wild camped for 8 nights . the showers at Lough Ree and Lough Derg yacht clubs were very welcome as were the pints

Looks like a fantastic adventure Andy.  I rented a motor boat in Beleek and took a trip down to Belturbet and back over a few days.  It was great fun and very relaxing.
