UPDATE



Well folks,

Its been a while since I've posted.
Do you feel like having a class night with mates around a camp fire? Do you also want you entire surface area of skin to be like a pin cushion with midgey bites? Then island party is the craic for you!

Its completely open really at the moment. Times will be determined by what suits folk so let us know down below.

For anyone that doesn't know, here's the run down:
We paddle from the shed in the morning/afternoon with gear, to a campsite on an "island" on the upper corrib. It isn't that far, honestly.
We set up tents, sort gear and boats out and then we chill out and start the night.

Things you need include:
A tent (or share), a sleeping bag, 1-2 changes of clothes, easy-cook/dried food & snacks, refreshments (obviously), all the appropriate kayaking/safety gear and ratios. Most of you will have phones but ensure there is at least one.

Fire wood is quite important. It keeps the party going and keeps you warm most importantly. I know AJ pulled a serious shift last year with supplying firewood but everyone should bring something. Remember all this gear has to be transported in boats so don't go all Bear Grylls on us.

Most importantly have fun and look out for each other! It's a nice send off before the year closes. I doubt I'll make it so yall have a nice night!

Can we leave the axe and big knives at home this year please??

[AJT]

Im down and can probably bring some firewood and a Big Ol Axe with me @Ciana

Any Friday or Saturday suits me

[LeviN]

What date suits everyone? I was thinking we could do it after all the exams are finished (like Friday the 10th?), but that's just my 2 cents.

[CianMcGuinness]

If its after exams some weekend im up for it

[michaellane]

I'd be up for it on the sat after exams if that's a day that suits people

[Emmet_Geoghegan]

Friday after exams is perf for me I can bring a load of dry grass for starting the fires
And my big tent too. (Hopefully people actually use it this time)

[Ciara.wall]

I'm off to the States on the 11th (Saturday after exams) so there's a high likelihood I won't make it

[AoifeFitz]

I'd be up for it any night the weekend of the 17th

[Harry F]
