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 food will be simple and good\, but nothing fancy\, not like the Mihingo Lodge food. \nTravel to Lake Mburo \nHead out of Kampala along the Masaka/Mbarara road. Approximately an hour after Masaka you will pass through Lyantonde town\, this is the best place to refuel before turning off the main road. \nAccessing Mihingo campsite & Lodge \nThrough the Park:\n15km’s after Lyantonde you will pass a small trading centre Akageti. 500m metres after this is the turning to Lake Mburo National Park. Follow this road to Nshara Gate. From Nshara to Mihingo always take the left turning at each junction. You will then reach Kanyashara gate. From here turn right and continue up the hill if you are staying at the lodge. If you are camping follow the campsite signs from the gate. Park entry fees will apply. Please find them here: http://www.ugandawildlife.org/images/pdfs/Tariffs-2014-2015.pdf \nOutside the Park:\nNo park entry fees need to be paid. Before the turning to Lake Mburo you will pass through Akageti trading centre. Towards the end of this trading centre on the left there is a main murram road. Turn left on to this and follow. After approximately half an hour (15km) you will pass through a small trading centre called Akashenshero. Continue straight along the murram road for another kilometre. There will be a turning to your right with a sign to the camp. Follow these signs for another 2km and you will arrive. You will need to have a 4 x 4 car to access this road if it has been raining a lot\, drive time is approximately 40 minutes to the camping grounds from the main road. If you would like a boda to guide you\, it should cost approximately 3\,000 UGX from Akashenshero.
