Old Fat Paddler's Revenge

Welcome to the all new Old Fat Paddler's rant and rage pages.  Yup, I refuse to go quietly into that good night, and with a more powerful HTML editor it might just prove dangerous.   I still think respect should be be paid to your elders, no matter how beardy, no matter how much they insist on using whistles and ace helmets.

If you were once a great paddler with amazing stories which, inexplicably, no-one wants to listen to anymore, welcome: you're amongst good friends.  Join me in a a good old rant.

Still, I'd like to contribute a bit more to the web, and to paddling than just ranting about the good old days.  Let's face it, you glorify the past when your future dries up - Bono said that but I have a feeling that he stole it from John Lennon. 

Anyway, as well as a rant, I'm adding a new section, in which I'll attempt to give you the lowdown on paddling in Ireland.  Not just the rivers, mind, but the places to stay, the places to drink and the like.

But at least someone has finally used it!

Feel like letting other paddlers know about great rivers in your region?  Simply go to my River Guide form, fill in the details and allykabingo!  It'll be included in my river guide.

Go to the Form


Seeing as the only folks to use the fab form above have been American, I've upgraded my river guide to the outrageously named:
