An epic return paddle from Maghery to Dungloe will take place next week.
The event will take place on Sunday the 7th of August in conjunction with Donegal Sports Partnership, Maghery Adventure Sports and Canoeing Ireland in the HERS Outdoors Week Paddle Journey.
The aim of the seven-day event, which runs from Saturday the 6ht of August to Sunday the 14th of August, is for women from diverse backgrounds and abilities across Ireland to come together and paddle a combined distance of 40,000 km – the circumference of the earth.
The main local event being organised as part of the HERS Paddle Journey is an epic paddle from Maghery to Dungloe, and back to Maghery after a break on the mainland.
The paddle is being coordinated by Stephen Bell from Maghery Coastal Adventures.
“The event is based on the no barriers, no boundaries and no divides concept,” he said.
“No matter what they do or what their backgrounds are or where they’re from, women can come together on this collective journey.”
The marathon kayak gets underway on Sunday the 7th of August at 10 am.
The event will be quite a physically demanding challenge, so previous kayaking experience and a moderate level of fitness and endurance will be required.
Entry fee is €25. To register, follow the link: https://buytickets.at/
Maghery Coastal Adventures are also planning an island tour that will be based around Dunlgoe Bay.
