New to white water? Basic safety introduction - Sunday 18 October 2015

Nigel_Sharpe

As the winter white water season approaches, we will be arranging Club beginner white water trips on local rivers.

I was talking to Liam Kirkham (AS Watersports Coach) about how important it is for newcomers to white water be comfortable swimming in moving water, know how to assist in a rescue and know how to be rescued. So we have organised a very wet session covering all these aspects.

Either meet at the Club at 8am (when we will pick up Club kayaks and kit) or at River Dart Country Park at 9am with paddles, kayaks and all dress as warm as you can. The session will be around three hours long.

There will be some paddling as well!

Ten spaces. You must be A ECC member and this is aimed at newcomers to white water.

The session will be run by Liam and Max from AS Watersports and Nigel Sharpe.

I will drop Henry at dart valley for 9.00am with boat and kit. If anyone else can drop him back to Exeter that would be helpful but otherwise I will circle back up. I cant hang about due to another commitment that morning. Owen Michaelson
