Well done to all the junior kayakers who completed Well done to all the junior kayakers who completed our beginner kayaking course last weekend. They did amazingly well to cope with the blustery and ocassionally wet conditions, spending 12 hours on the water (and a couple IN the water!) over the three days. No doubt they slept well after that weekend, I know the instructors did ;) Thanks to all our instructors for running a safe and fun course! Thanks a million to Sean Carleton Photography for the fantastic photos (more on facebook)! #loveirishpaddling #sligo #sligowhoknew #kayaking
