    Class adventure so far pal, I'm ready to go off on my own soon down the Shannon-Erne waterway, into the Shannon and god only knows where. I'm going to let the river, tide and wind take me.

      @@IanHoran I created a whole cabin narrowboat out of a quality inflatable kayak with a polytunnel covered in a 4x2 m silver tarp to make a gypsy caravan shaped narrowboat cabin for one, towed by a smaller, faster covered kayak it's a great way to explore the world, seas and all! Especially in Ireland. You should make one, too.

    Great video, you seem to get back on the kayak very quick and with little effort unlike my efforts

    Hi Ian I am planning a similar river journey on a kayak but a complete novice, do you mind me asking what brand of kayak you are using and where you got it? Thanks

      Hi mate, I’m actually away on a trip now in Oz, it’s just a generic sea kayak, I wanted something unsinkable but short and a little bit agile for the weirs on the river, plus storage room, bought it in a hardware in Kilmore quay, they were hard got back then as we had just come out of lockdown

    Just wondering how did you secure your gear,was it just the webbing or did you use other straps?

    • @IanHoran
      @IanHoran  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I just ran the stretchy webbing through any straps or buckles on my bags so if I turned over nothing would be lost or separated from me

    The question is, were there any trees you didn't hit? 🤣🤣 A nice spin but I'd avoid the weirs when loaded like that. It'd be a pain to end up watching it all float away or worse arriving to camp cold and all your gear soaked.

      No tracking map, but if you go on to google maps and follow the river barrow from Leighlinbridge to hook head you’ll see it for yourself
