Each year we plan many different trips. Some are just day trips (we try to have as many of these on the weekends as possible).
We have four or five big trips away each year:
- The Donegal weekend Trip
- The Intervarsities Trip
- The Lahinch Weekend Surf trip
- The Alps Trip
- The “Other” Trip
- The Kerry Trip
The Kayak Intervarsites
This is the Weekend trip where we do battle with all the other colleges around Ireland. Sounds serious, Its not. Best craic ever.

The Lahinch Trip
We usually go to lanhinch more than once a year, but in mid to late march we have a weekend trip. Last year we spent one night camping and then stayed in a hostel the following night.
It was nuts – many brain cells were killed
The Alps Trip
Every year, the club travels to the Italian and French Alps – sometimes making a quick stop in Slovenia.

The “Other” Trip
In previous years, the club has also gone on trips to Wales, Scotland and Nottingham. Many members also make it to the Alps, Canada, Africa and England kayaking each summer.
The Kerry trip
The Old Way
One cannot fully convey the Kerry experience on paper. Ask any past member (aka. OFB’s) about it, and watch them rave endlessly on about it.
Just remember the Kerry motto: It wasn’t me
No more details for legal reasons
The New Way
These days the club meets up with the other university kayak clubs at new years, for mad partying, great kayaking, and a bit of playful stealing.
