So I have come to the end of my keener experience. As this is my final blog I might as well write about something that will help future Irish keeners to come.
Firstly if you have the opportunity to attend this program it is well worth the investment as no river in Ireland even compares to the Ottawa.
The packing list that is sent with the application is a couple of years out dated and the combination locks and the multitude of T-shirts that you will inevitably bring are not needed as two keener shirts are given to you.
Flights are a necessary part of traveling to Ireland and my experience of was both long and tedious as I had to take three flight instead of two as you can be collected later than 4 pm.
Bugs can be an issue as mosquitoes, horse and deer flies bites are common especially if you live in Istambul . Sun cream is a must have as sun burn is uncomfortable and painful. I recommend applying a waterproof sun cream before you go onto the water and at the lunch site.
My overall experience of keeners is it has been the best kayaking program I have ever been on and I will never forget as no river is like the Ottawa it is a truly magical and spectacular place.
