It’s been a pretty full on summer, between Mountain Leader
training and heading off on trips!!
Caoimhe and Claire got away to Glendalough a few months ago
and got some more leads in for the Single Pitch award. It’s a stunning place to climb, with great
protection and loads of friction.

We have been trying to get into the hills as much as
possible with Mountain Leader assessments on the horizon. Caoimhe and Kathryn got to the Blue Stacks,
Donegal. Where they had a ball with
navigation, wind and rain.
lookin hot...

Claire unfortunately broke her ankle climbing last month in
Dalkey, but is finally out of her cast and on the road to recovery - Yeooooo! She’s
looking forward to getting out climbing again and is planning her glorious
return to the rock.

Caoimhe went on her first river – The Bann with the Tuesday
night gang. She amazingly rolled and
survived playing in a few stoppers. Caoimhe
and Kathryn then both got out on the Boyne a few weeks later, styling down all
sorts of weirs and not a swimmer in sight – Not bad for 2 girls!

Happy Chappys...
A few days later Kathryn went with great determination to
get her roll finally sorted, and man did she nail it. She is now looking forward to another epic
journey down a river or into the sea!!
Caoimhe has also been getting out sea kayaking loads with
the Tuesday nights and a few of the guys (Jonny, Neil, Samuel and Davy) in the
centre. She headed up to the North Coast
where she got to rock hop beside the amazing sea cliffs and did a bit of
surfing – were she took a bit of swim, but sure we are all human.

Banana man?? is that you??
Caoimhe headed off to Scotland to sea kayak
last week with Mike McClure who organises Tuesday nights. The weather conditions were epic, with force
6 winds at times but she got through without having to roll. She was also
assessed for her 3 star (sea) and passed.
Caoimhe surfing like a pro fo shizz my nizz
