High water Castleconnell run with UL girls

Girls on the Castleconnell

Last Saturday some of us Ladies from UL decided to paddle the Castleconnell on an unofficial girly day. The rest of the country was either snowed in or bone dry, but the CC had a nice bouncy level.

We got lots of sun, lots of water and Little Joe found his way back to his Mum!

S-bend on the Castleconnell

The S-Bend Rapid was flowing quite happily through the trees on both banks so we had to make sure there were no uncontrolled swims. The Castle Wall rapid was one big wave train with lots of push.

We ran the river without major incidents and got some eddy turn practise in. Thanks Jennifer (for a smooth boat rescue), Lilly (for the sound effects), Timmy (for the facial expressions) and Emma for the great little dance at the put in…
