SUMMARY:Girls Gone Nile
DESCRIPTION:It’s time for another Girls Gone Nile weekend\, which offers us kayaking ladies the chance to improve our skills and push ourselves that little bit harder without the pressure of having the guys around while having an awesome time hanging out with each other. \nWe’ll spend Saturday surfing Superhole\, where we can work on our surfing and rolling skills in a more protected environment. You should have taken at least 3 lessons with KTN and have some basic rolling skills to come to Superhole. \nOn Sunday\, we’ll be doing a river run where we’ll be going down all the big stuff and spend some time at Nile Special at the end. For this you should have done at least one river run before. The ladies that aren’t good enough yet can organise a lesson with KTN on the Sunday. \nWe’ll be camping at the famous Land right by Superhole on Saturday night\, cook our own food and enjoy some drinks around the fire. \nAnyone not into kayaking\, or not quite good enough yet can join us for the social side and enjoy hanging out at the Land. \nIf you dont have your own camping gear\, see whether you can share a tent with someone or post on the MCU facebook page whether you can borrow the equipment. The same goes for rides to Jinja\, if you have rides to offer or need a ride\, please post on the MCU facebook page. \nSign up here \nWe’ll be sending an email with the rest of the info on the 14th March\, in the meantime if you have any questions please contact laurabierer@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Rafting trip
DESCRIPTION:“These are no ordinary white water rafting trips. In fact\, it is probably the best two days you’ll ever spend in Uganda. Bucket list material!” \nThe 2 days are filled with rafting action\, swimming\, river boarding\, SUPing\, sun and relaxation. The night is spent in tents on the banks of the river at our private spot on the banks of the Nile. The BBQ dinner is always a winner and the cold beers usually go down well with it! \nItinerary: \nDay 1: \n6.00 -6.30am – Kampala pick up for those who need transport. \n8am – meet at base in Jinja. Sign in. Breakfast. \n8.30 / 8.45am depart Jinja to River. \nDay 1 river section – Overtime to Nalubale Camp (After Itanda Falls). \nWe spend the day rafting and then pull into Superhole – taking lunch with us so we can spend the afternoon surfing.  We’ll give you a body board and fins and our expert crew will teach you the skills to get you surfing and cutting up the waves.  There might even be some SUPs available to play with on Superhole. After finishing the day rafting the Bad Place we’ll pull into camp around 4pm. \n4pm – 7pm.  Pull into camp – set up tents\, we provide snacks and plenty of cold beers – you guys relax while the staff get the food going and light the BBQ. \n7pm. Big BBQ dinner. \nAfter dinner we have our legendary ‘fines meeting’ around the fire before the local women’s group come and sing and dance for us! \nDay 2: \nWe’ll get you going with a big full fry up breakfast and some strong coffee before pushing to into the river and the Rapids of Day 2. \n3 big rapids back to back will get you going before a relaxed float and swim down to Nile Special. \nDepending on water levels we’ll stop at a bunch of different waves along the way and pull out the boards for more surfing. Then we’ll pull into the world famous Hairy Lemon Island for an explore and a beer. \nThe Shuttle will be heading back depending on your preference to Kampala or Jinja around 3pm.  \nKayakers: \nAlthough this is a rafting trip\, experienced kayakers are more than welcome to join the fun. Just one condition\, you need to be signed off by KTN or take a KTN instructor along with you. \n  \nPrices: \n\n$210 if you’re rafting (usually $255\, but Nalubale is offering MCU a great discount)\n$65 if you’re kayaking along\n\nWhat do you need to bring? \nMoney to pay in the morning.  Credit cards are accepted with a 5% surcharge. \nShorts / T-shirt or swimsuit for rafting in – quick-dry is best but not essential.  It is highly advisable to wear leggings or long shorts and a long sleeve shirt especially on Day 1.

SUMMARY:Hairy Lemon Kayaking & Pentathlon Weekend
DESCRIPTION:The long awaited Hairy Lemon weekend is back. So get ready for the social highlight in MCU’s calendar with a Lemon Sports Pentathlon organised for Sunday.  \nFor the kayakers the Hairy Lemon weekend offers the great opportunity to explore a different part of the river and run some new rapids. Kayak the Nile will be offering discounted kayaking lessons for beginners to advanced kayakers. For more details and sign-up click here to sign-up. \nNon-kayakers are more than welcome to join – judging from last time there were definitely more people just enjoying a chilled out weekend than kayaking.\nAs the Hairy Lemon is an island\, it is vital that you book accommodation and please note that the usual shuttle service is not available for Hairy Lemon weekends. \nFor the Lemon Pentathlon\, we’ll get as many people as possible together\, divide them into random teams (great chance to make some new friends)\, and have them compete in the classic Lemon games like volleyball\, lemon twister\, frisbee golf\, viking chess\, etc. Teams will rotate and compete against one another for the highest score. There’ll be a big scoreboard\, points for the best dressed team\, a potential showdown between the runner-ups\, anything we can think of really. I’d be a good chance to get non-kayakers to the Lemon and people who would want to go on the water can still do so the two other days.  \nPlease email laurabierer@gmail.com if you have any questions.

The event is open to all skill levels. Non-kayaking ladies are welcome to come hang out but if you learned on the Nile you must have done at least 3 lessons with Kayak the Nile to paddle.

SUMMARY:MCU Kayak Weekend- Hairy Lemon Edition
DESCRIPTION:The long awaited Hairy Lemon kayaking weekend is back! \nThis is definitely the social highlight of the MCU kayaking calendar with a big fancy dress party on Saturday night. Non-kayakers are more than welcome to join – judging from last time there were definitely more people just enjoying a chilled out weekend than kayaking. \nFor the kayakers the Hairy Lemon weekend will give you the opportunity to run some of the other rapids further down the river. Make use of this opportunity as many of these rapids will disappear once the dam is built. Beginners are more than welcome and the stellar Kayak the Nile team will be offering lessons for the total beginners to the more experienced kayakers. Take a look here for more details on the lessons and MCU discounts. The sign-up sheet will become available after the last month’s lesson took place – so please do not sign up yet. \nAccommodation: \nAs the Hairy Lemon is an island\, it is vital that you book accommodation! You might be turned away if you don’t book as they have to organise food and the non-camping options will most definitely sell out. \nTransport: \nAs this weekend takes place at the Hairy Lemon\, it will not be possible to use the shuttle option. So you’ll need to organise your own ride! Please use the Facebook group to offer or ask for a ride – as usual please make sure to chip in for petrol. It should be around 25k per person there and back in a full car. The road to the Hairy Lemon isn’t the best especially not during rainy season\, so using a 4 wheel drive is advisable. \nTheme: “Human Drawings in Leggins and Hats”\nSo get a plain T-Shirt with markers and body paint ready!!!\nIt’s your choice to create your own drawings or to wait till the evening and let everyone else have a go in creating a human drawing out of you.\nSpice up your costume with colourful leggins\, a hat or any other accessory you seem fit for your human artwork. \nPlease let laurabierer@gmail.com know if you have any questions.
