Earlier than usual, our lovely friends from the Grand Canal Basin came to Lough Lannagh for a visit. The ladies left a snow white Dublin on March 1st to arrive in a wet with sunny spells Castlebar. All the seasons in one day!

We had a great paddle on the lake with the 2 boats out, on Sat a.m and the boats were mixed with club members from both Clubs.

We followed on from there into the Cafe at Lough Lannagh for Pauls amazing scones and coffee. It was here that the Plurabelles presented us with an original paddle from when the Plurabelles first set up. It is a wooden paddle with the Club logo on it and it was surprisingly very light.

Some of the girls couldn’t resist the call of Croagh Patrick, so off they went and rounded off their day with climbing the mountain.

Lovely as always having the girls in Mayo, maybe this year we will get to visit them at their home on the Grand Canal.
