With a high tide and a nice forecast I decided to start the month of May with a short paddle up the river Licky. I would be launching from Ballynaclash quay just outside the Village of Clashmore in Co Waterford. I timed my arrival perfectly and entered the river blackwater around one hour before the tide was fully in. It was a easy paddle up river with plenty of bird like to keep me company.
The first section of the Licky is through large Reed beds and was full of bird life, after the reeds the river narrows and you have to make your way around a lot of over hanging branches.
It's still a bit dark to photograph any detail from a moving Kayak, there really was a nice sky.
The banks get a little close and the going gets a little slower
