Description
The Associazione Sportiva Cardedu kayak, the only canoe club in the province and belonging to the FICK (Italian
Canoe and Kayak Federation), was born out of an idea of Francesco Muntoni who, with a few friends, founded it in
the winter of 2003. The number of members, starting from spring 2004, in a short space of time surpassed even the
most optimistic forecasts. At the end of 2007 there are about 50 members, some from Ogliastra, some from the
rest of Italy. Competitive activities started in 2005, with the first regional races. Soon after the Club is chosen to
organise, for the first time in Ogliastra, races valid for the Regional Championships. As important is the organisation
of sea excursions, so much so that in both 2006 and 2007 national-level excursions are organised, with the
patronage of the FICK. For several years Cardedu Kayak also organises socially-useful events, including canoeing
for diversely-able people and participating in the annual "Spiagge e Fondali Puliti" (removing rubbish from beaches
and the seabed) with local scubadiving clubs and the Lega Ambiente Italia.

Route: take SS 125 for Muravera following the direction of Olbia. After about 100 km, when you are almost at
Tertenia, you will find the entrance for the new paved road and signs for Barisardo/Cardedu which you will reach in
about 20 minutes.
FROM PORTO TORRES
Highway: SS 131; bretella 131/Nuoro - Nuoro/Lanusei km: 255 | Time: 2h e 45 min
Route: take SS 131 in the direction of Cagliari. After about 90 km, in Abbasanta you will find signs for Nuoro. Take
the overpass to the right that will bring to you the other side of the road. You will arrive in Nuoro's industrial zone.
Follow signs for "Nuoro - Lanusei - Arbatax" (passing through an about 1 km long tunnel.) Follow the paved road
and after about 45 minutes you will find a gas station on the right with a café in front of it and signs for Lanusei
(keep straight) and Villagrande (turn left). Keep straight in the direction of Lanusei, which you will reach after about
30 minutes ride. Once you get to Lanusei, after having crossed the entire town you will find signs for “Cagliari Barisardo”. You will get to Barisardo/Cardedu in about 20 minutes.
