edited September 2022 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours

We will agian be looking to run a trip (probably in September) on the Wye, particulars will be worked out nearer the time. This is mostly grade 1 wate with a couple of grade 2 features on it (Symonds Yat being one). it is a great introduction to moving water, there will be a bit of playing around/light coaching looking at eddies, breaking in and out. Any craft. Fixed campsite.

It would be great to have a reasonable sized group for a bit of fun.

If you may be interested, put your name below so we can guage interest

See date above. Meet at camp site on 16th sept, paddling 17/18 sept.

Due to a dry summer and lack of rain this trip has changed location to Poole Harbour details below. - Will.

    Can't commit so far ahead but would try as long as I've had a go at open boat...Thanks for organising

    Hi Fiona, the Wye can be paddled in a sea kayak if you prefer.

    River levels are currently very very low and unlikely to rise much over the month. Thinking that it might be better to head to Purbeck and Poole Harbour for this weekend in September and do some open water open canoeing, hopefully including some canoe sailing.

  • MikeBMikeB

    Hi, I’m keen but only on the Sunday due to work commitments, camping on the Saturday night.

    We are planning on spending the weekend exploring Poole Harbor. Exact locations will be decided once we have a forecast.

    We are planning on staying at Woodyhyde Campsite, Valley Road, Corfe Castle.

    The campsite has asked if we could book in individually. you pick your pitch when you turn up.

    Hi, sorry but I can’t make this trip. Thanks.
  • ShelleyRhodesShelleyRhodes

    Hi sorry not coming, nothing to do with the trip I just have childcare duties now.

  • MikeBMikeB
    Any more ? If anyone ends trailer space I will be loading Thursday night.
  • TomDufallTomDufall

    I've now booked camping. If you're taking the trailer I'd like a spot, please. If it's not worth the fuss for the two of us, I can load my own late Thurs night on the way back from climbing - let me know if you're taking it or not.

  • MikeBMikeB
    Which boat do you want?
  • TomDufallTomDufall

    If I had to guess, I've used the larger style on the rack nearest the water most (is that the Ontarios?) I haven't got a clear preference.

  • MikeBMikeB
    @TomDufall I have a prospector, bailer, poles and sail clamp(you never know!). Not sure what length paddles, but do bring 2.

    Good thing I checked this just as I was leaving the club! I've got a paddle, kneeler, bailer, helmet. I'll grab another paddle now. Thanks for taking the boat.
