Club Outing – Liffey Descent

The Liffey Descent course consists of 10 Weirs and 1 portage. It starts within the grounds of the K Club in Straffan, Co. Kildare and finishes 30+ kilometres later at the Garda Boat Club, Islandbridge. The race now attracts paddlers from many parts of the world – some are serious racers and others are just ‘fun paddlers’. Come and join the party atmosphere.

Lucan Weir, adjacent to Lucan village (on-street parking) offers an excellent vantage point to capture the action. While it is always difficult to predict the time that the boats will arrive there, we suggest being on-site close to 12 in order to secure a parking space and a good position beside the river as this is a very popular spectator event.

We will meet at Lucan Weir, from 12.00
