IrishFreestyle

In my quest to nail a helix I’ve decided I’ll leave no stone unturned and as a previous post suggested I wanted to talk to Irish paddlers who have met the man who conceived the move Steve Fisher.

Irene Hughes hailing from Mayo but now living in Galway is one such person.

Irene on Bugagaly

Irene running Bugagaly Falls, White Nile, Uganda.

Irene is an accomplished paddler. She has paddled in the Alps, Zambia, Uganda and Nepal. Formally a DCU student she unfortunately qualified and now works for a living. This has been a stressful transition for her but she is coping well with occasional trips to the Tuam hole!!!

It was on one of her trips to Uganda that she encountered the man at the 2006 Nile Festival where she herself got a very credible 2nd place finish in the gruelling 45k boater endurance event.

I decided to ask her some questions.

See the rest on the Blog. This is only loosley associated with me achieving a Helix
