This 2011 – Hit the Ground Abseiling! 27.01.2011
Well its 2011 and to get into the swing of things, intead of hitting the ground runing, we are hitting the ground ABSEILING!! Ronan has been asked to abseil into the 2011 Holiday World Show in the RDS to help kick off the event. So keep an eye on your newspapers, it should turn a few heads.
Ronan has also been nominated for an ISA Powerboating Achievement Award after winning a Silver Medal at the 2010 European P750 Powerboat Championships. Fingers crossed!! We will be offering P750 Thundercat training courses this year for people who would like to get involved in this exciting sport. Ronan is also looking for a new co-pilot for the 2011 race season, watch this space for the trial dates.
We were very busy over the winter months increasing our qualifications (regardless of the weather). We will now be offering Occupational First Aid coures and Irish Canoe Union Level 3 White Water Courses. The Irish Canoe Union has now introduced a new Sit- on- Top Award Scheme which we will running throughout 2011. A full calander of dates for trips, skills courses, school and kids camps will be posted on Monday.
Congratulations to the 12 who passed their National Pool lifeguard Award before Christmass and best of luck to the Trainee National Beach Lifeguards who start their training tonight.
We are also moving into a new premisis in Ardmore, so we can offer you more on site. So if you find your new years resolution is fading, give us a call and well have an exciting activity to help you; get more active, shape up, stay off the cigarettes or to try something new.

Radio Stations, Glow sticks & Channel Swimmers 13.04.2010
Its been a busy week here at Ardmore Adventures, with lots of visitors from all walks of life. We’ve had Channel Swimmers, Honeymooners and Radio stations to name just a few.
James from England came out kayaking with his 2 sons Finn and Harry early last week. James is training to swim the English channel this summer which he successfully achieved last summer and raised £50k for charity in the process, Ronan joined James for one of training swims. Ronan acted as safety cover for James as he swam around the bay. We wish James the best of luck in his Channel swim this summer.
RTE’s Lyric Fm joined us for a sea kayak to record the sounds of the sea and to record Ronan giving a Sea Kayak Tour for a new radio show called Soundscapes of Ireland. As soon as we are given the date for the show we will post it on line.
With the longer stretch in the evenings and the good weather upon us, we have started our eveing sessions again.
On Saturday night Tim, Seamus, Jen and Jane joined us for our 1st night kayak of the year. We were greeted to a beautiful red sky and sunset to mark the start of our journey and enjoyed the crystal clear sky and with all the stars on show for the duration of our trip. We couldn’t have got a better night.
Today we were joined by Beat Fm, who joined us for some Rock Climbing and Abseiling. Ardmore Adventures were asked to help promote Failte Ireland’s ‘The Fun Starts Here’ campaign. Niall, Vinny, Mary and Jen from the Beat Breakfast gave it their all in the name of adventure and show biz. All survived to broadcast the tale with smiles on their faces. Check Ronan out on the Beat Breakfast tomorrow morning (wednesday 14th April) @ 9.30am.
