Whitewater trip Sunday 7th January 2024. +++++++ UPDATED +++++++
It is hoped to run a club whitewater trip on Sunday 7th January 2024. At present river levels are running high but the forecast is looking drier at the end of the week. With luck this should mean that we can paddle somewhere. A final decision will be made on Friday evening as to location when river levels become more apparent.Trip will be suitable for those who have paddled previously on whitewater.
Please indicate on this post if interested.
List now closed so as to keep the group at managable numbers.
Levels are still dropping, looks as if the Dart is probably our best option. With the group we have plan to run the loop section. Meet at the club 8am to load boats etc ready to leave by 8.30am. If going direct to the river 9am at Holne Bridge parking area next to the weir.
Forecast to be cold in the morning so layer up. See everyone in the morning.

I'd like to come please. Will meet you at the river.
Yes please, a lift if possible?
I'm keen to join!
I would love to come too. I am hoping I can pinch a cheeky lift for a kayak and self….
Laura I closed. The list around midday. In view of your previous river trips and the experience within the group consider yourself in. Sure there will be car space. Definitely the last one.
Going to delay decision on river destination until tomorrow due to conditions still changing . We will definitely paddle.
I don't have my car this weekend. Please can I have a lift with someone.
Sorry to change again i will make it tomorrow could someone send me a pinpoint location of the carpark please
I will come via the Club incase anyone needs a lift.
Alex - we will be meeting at the getout on the roadside at What3Words ///page.conveying.pocket . However, we will then be going to the New Bridge carpark at w3w ///snippet.stilted.topmost where we will be getting in.
Thanks much appreciated Nigel. I will be at the club to come and take boats.
Sorry Mike. I was so excited to see the trip that I must have lost my ability to read things properly. I would understand if you need the smaller group.
Laura no problem Brad has dropped out so numbers remain the same.
I will be at the club and have space in car .
Thanks to all who came paddling and made it a great day
Thanks for the awesome loop everyone
Sorry for the no-show. My car now has a new battery!
thanks mike for organising / leading and all fellow paddlers for a great loop.
Thank you all for such a great time. What a treat to go bashing through icy water and then enjoying the wonderful views of Dartmoor. And of course the tea and cake rounded it all off nicely. Thanks for organising this Mike.
