Beginners white water trip Sunday 16th November. Trip suitable for paddlers of around 2 star standard wanting to get some white water experience. I am thinking of running the Lower Teign from Fingle Bridge to Steps Bridge, water level permitting.
8am start from the club. I will update latter in the week but we should get a trip in somewhere if the Teign does not run.
Mike.

All looks good for Sunday, as planned trip will be on the Teign from Fingle Bridge to Steps Bridge. Meet at the club 8am or at Fingle Bridge 9.15am. I intend to leave a couple of cars with dry kit etc. at Steps Bridge en route so if you meet us at Fingle you will need to make arrangements to get your dry kit to the finish or carry it in your boat. There may be a non paddling driver who could shuttle kit, but not definite.
Look forward to seeing you all.
Mike

    Hi Mike,
    we got back at 7pm. A bit cold, hungry and tired. The recovery truck didn't get to us till 430pm. A lesson learned I would rather have a car key on me than a river snail! Dale and I will come next Sunday and thanks again for organising the day.

    Hi Mike,

    keen for this, I'm happy to do a bit of assistant leading as well if you like.

    I'm local to the Teign so Could I meet you at the takeout/put in?

    Matt

    Matt, good to have you along and quite happy for you to lead. See you at Fingle 9.15am or Steps at 8.45am.

    Hi Mike - It might be an idea to minimize the number of vehicles we take up to Fingle bridge as they have roadworks on and I'm told much of their car park has temporarily become a site compound. I'm only going by what I've heard and haven't actually seen the situation myself though. Matt

    This is not a section of river that I have paddled, so am keen to come along. I will see you at Fingle Bridge.

    For a beginners trip, there was a lot of competent paddling today. The river levels were quite high! Well done everyone, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself - thanks all... :-)
    (... and it was my first time down that section of river --- beautiful)

    Thank you Matt, Hayley and Mike C for good advice and support, all the coaches for watching out for me and all of us, and everyone for carrying my boat, gear and occasionally me. It made it a fun trip down a beautiful - and challenging! part of the Teign. Great day! Jacqui
