Following the popular paddle last week I will run a beginner whitewater paddle Sunday 13th November. Meet at club at 8.30am for boat/kit loading. I will update later in the week as to location when water levels are more apparent.
Please reply to this post if interested.
Although posted as a beginner trip happy to have experienced paddlers along if you’re looking to get out.

    Thanks Mike, Otto and a parent (we'll toss a coin!) up for coming
  • PaulHPaulH
    I'll join you again Mike
  • laurahallettlaurahallett

    Yes please! Last Sunday was great.

    I have signed up to help the sea kayak trip, but if conditions prevent that trip, I will come along on the white water trip - I enjoyed it this week. Can I sit on the fence in the meantime?

  • mikecrispinmikecrispin

    Nigel be good to have you along but sea paddle was up first and there may not be that many opportunities for a sea trip in the next few months. Enjoy

  • BradHBradH
    Woop! I'd like to join you again, please.
  • d9walld9wall
    Me too, let’s go paddling :)

    Thanks Mike. I'm interested - will be good to get back on the water.

  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe

    I am off the fence, and would be keen to join you!

  • BruceBruce
    Hi Mike
    Would like to join you Sunday
  • TomDufallTomDufall

    I'd like to come along, please. I've done a whitewater canoe trip but this would be my first short boat trip. (I'm normally in a sea kayak or canoe.)

  • d9walld9wall
    You’ll be fine Tom, just not as much room for your lunch :)
  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe

    Tom - it will be perfect for you

  • OwenMichaelsonOwenMichaelson
    Mike. If there is room I would like to come. Will come via club with roof rack to help with logistics if I am needed.
  • TomDufallTomDufall

    I forgot to mention - I do have space on my roof. I need to put the bars back together, so I'd ideally just take the 1 boat on my Js, but I could take another flat when shuttling if needed. Where do I store the BBQ in a short kayak? 😂

    After high levels at the beginning of the week rivers are dropping and with not much rain forecast should be at a good level for our trip on Sunday.
    There are enough leaders to accommodate everyone who has shown interest. However I am now closing the list to keep the group manageable booth on and off the water.
    I am thinking of staying local and running a section of the upper Exe. Will confirm location on Saturday.
    Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday.
    Mike

  • d9walld9wall
    Well Tom, in the front I would have thought, so you can cook the sausages, as we glide down the river :)
  • m_ransomm_ransom
    Tom, all rivers have a coffee shop installed at the bottom. This is probably the only reason for ww boats being so short.(no need for a BBQ)
    Mike I will see you at the river
  • mikecrispinmikecrispin

    All looks good for tomorrow. Plan is to run the Exe from Bolham to Bickliegh. Meet at the club at 8.30am for loading boats etc. If going direct to the river meet at Bickliegh Mill rear car park 9.30am.
    The temperature is dropping so perhaps an extra thermal would be good. I will be at the club for 8.30.

  • OwenMichaelsonOwenMichaelson
    Plenty of space at Bickleigh Mill so see you there.
  • tsuttontsutton
    Tam and Otto going straight to the mill. Cheers Dave
  • DavidStephensonDavidStephenson

    Smashing. I'll go straight to the car park at Bickleigh mill unless you need me as a driver down at the quay.

  • laurahallettlaurahallett

    I will meet you at the club. I will put on roof bars.

  • MikeBMikeB
    @BradH your bag is in the topdrawer of filing cabinet
  • BradHBradH
    Amazing, thanks Mike! Will see you guys at Bickleigh tomorrow - it's only a mile up the road from me.
  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe

    I will go straight to Bickleigh, unless I am needed at the Club

  • m_ransomm_ransom
    Nigel
    The Crediton Bickleigh road is closed. I will go via Shobroke Thoverton
  • mikecrispinmikecrispin

    All those who are going direct see you there. Think we should be ok for transport from the club.
