Description:
I think this was the first complete circling of the city, by canoe.

It involved weeks of recconnoitering and checking tide-timetables against our main problem : the five weirs. We needed to catch the turn of the tide, so that we could ride it back up the northern arm under Patrick's Bridge, and on up past the shallows and the weir by the Maltings - to regain our starting point below the weir at the Lee Fields.
There were a dozen bridges,five weirs and a rapids to deal with - two hours, including the wait for the tide at Customs Quay Point. The Cork Examiner covered it - bringing everlasting glory to our little team, for a day.
The trip wasn't epic by any means - though the fight back up against the current was exhausting. And the weir in the photo had a killer rotor.
