Club Outing – Irish Open Canoe Slalom

Competitors race alone against the clock through rapids on a course created on the river Liffey marked out by poles (called slalom gates).

The challenge is to pass through approximately twenty gates suspended above the water, avoiding a touch with any part of the boat, paddle, or body.

We will meet at the car park at 10.00 a.m. A telephoto lens is essential.

Venue: Lucan Sluice Weir. There is a small car park located across the road from McDonald’s. It is a ten-minute walk from Lucan village. If the car park is full there is on-street parking in the vicinity.
