Charity paddle Belleek to Limerick

#1 Post by Fentster »

Me and two other well known Yakkers are doing a 250 mile charity paddle towards the end of May, Belleek to Limerick City. Camping out for the duration. Hopefully we will complete it in around 10 days or so. Anyone is welcome to join us for some or all of it :D

If anyone feels like donating a few sheckles for charity please feel free! :D You can donate online at http://www.fentonparsons.com/Kayak-Adventures.php

Even though it will be tough going I am looking forward to it :lol:

Cheers

I thought Belleek was in Fermanagh

Good luck, you will have some blisters on your hands if my memories of kayaking are anything to go by!
