National Trails Day – Liffey Odyssey

 

 

 

NATIONAL TRAILS DAY is a celebration of Ireland’s wonderful variety of trails and a chance for everyone to enjoy some of our most beautiful countryside, forests, mountains and lakes.

As part of National Trails Day this year Outdoor Discovery in partnership with a number of canoe clubs including www.Rafting.ie  are organising the “Odyssey on the Liffey” which is a canoeing trip down the River Liffey to celebrate our fantastic canoeing trails.

It will start at Islandbridge and finish in Dublin Port.

The event is open to the general public but intending participants must satisfy the organisers they have sufficient ability to participate.

To avail of www.Rafting.ie rafts on the day you must ring before hand to secure a place, these lads can sort you out with all the equipment you need for this beauitiful trip.

It is intended to be a fun and leisurely trip down the Liffey. Fancy Dress is strongly encouraged. It is open to Open Canoes primarily but participants may use Kayaks, Sit -on -Tops or any craft that involves a paddle.

Participants are expected to supply their own boat – preferably an Open Canoe but there will be a limited number of places available in Open Canoes to anyone who cannot supply their own. All participants must wear approved Buoyancy Aid and helmet and appropriate safety equipment and bring suitable clothing.

Outdoor Discovery
