Welcome all,

This is Sunday Grand Canal Kayak adventure Club on Porobello!

Welcome to all active people who are up to start their Sunday early morning with the lovely exercise on the water and in same time meeting same minded people and then follow up with a friendly chat in the Lower Deck Bar with some snacks and one FREE Coffees or Tea.

This session is a regular on every Sunday till the end of October ( Depend on the weather). I met so many nice people and had a great time, so would like to share this with other people.

We will start our morning with the meeting each other, get safety instructions and then our fun part will start=)

About the trip:

This is only 2.5 km trip on the flat water which is very easy to complete. You will get a very stable sea double kayak. This is perfect for any level entries from beginner to advanced.

We will paddle from ''Potobello Bridge'' to ''Clanbrassil Bridge''. It was rebuilt in 1935-36 and renamed to ''Emmet Bridge'' in honour of the 1803 rebellion leader Robert Emmet. There is a ghost bike attached to railings beside the bridge. Next one we will be passing is ''Sally's bridge'' (Built in 1791. Named after John Parnell (the great-great-grandfather of Charles Stewart Parnell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Stewart_Parnell)), and one more bridge we will go under is ''Dolphin's Barn Bridge'' (Built in 1791. Named after Turner Camac, a director of the Grand Canal Company). And then turn back to the same destination. All this bridges are historical and good to know about them if you live in Ireland=)

I'm paddling every weekends for the last 2 years on the Grand Canal and in the sea afterwards, which gives me energy relief afterwards. During kayak session, all upper body gets most of the workout and it will improve our upper body strength, whilst also being a great way to unwind and relax after a stressful working week. Be near the water and to have same minded people that what you need from time to time to get away from the stressful life nowadays that we have=).

On the arrival we'll provide you with short safety instruction.

There is a changing facility and a safe place where to leave your belongings.

If you like to hire Wetsuit and water shoes it will be extra 5 Euro per person. Nowadays the weather is nice so you no need it. Just make sure you have full set of dry clothes with you as you might get wet.

The price is funny only 15 euro per person with one free drink, snacks on us and of course a Friendly chat=) You can choose between coffee, tea, beer or glass of wine. For the wine if you choose we need to get same 5 minded people=)
