  I will be around over Easter and up for leading some trips, 'though I am well aware they will come a poor second to those Jane runs! I am keeping an eye on conditions and will post details here if they are suitable.
  
  Please let me know if you want to come out to play!

  Hi Brian,
  
  Betty and me are interested in some sea action this weekend. What kind of level trip are you thinking? Betty is probably around 2* standard, and I'm approaching 3* (we paddled with you on the trip from Mullion to Kynance Cove last August bank holiday). Also, are you thinking Sun or Mon?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Chris

  Just to note I would be interested in a trip depending on the day. I too am 2 - 3 star & was on the mulligan trip last summer
  Regards

  Yes too windy for sea paddling this weekend but I am beginning to think it will be wet enough for trip on the Dart or Teign in white water boats tomorrow or Monday? They seem low at the moment but we are forecast quite a bit of the wet stuff....
  
  I will post again later when conditions are clearer....

  Weather not being - kind - got a few trees that have blown down blocking minor road - that need attention ( I am a forester ) + family to see
  Therefore I Think my paddling is going to be limited to a few hrs on the canal this weekend rather than a trip - never mind there is always next time - if you do get out good paddling !!!
  Regards

  OK I think the Teign might be the place to go tomorrow, Monday.
  
  Meet at Dogmarsh Bridge 0900 and we will look at the level and the experience of those who turn up. If it is low, we should still have a good run from Fingle Bridge to Steps Bridge. If high enough then Dogmarsh to Fingle or on to Steps will be possible, depending upon experience.
  
  So, who has what experience? Happy to take beginners to white water down from Fingle and those with experience, around but not necessarily holding 3*, down from Dogmarsh.
  
  If we go from Dogmarsh to Steps it will take most of the day so bring lunch.
  
  I will go straight to Dogmarsh to meet you all there. If a car can be dropped off at Steps great but we will be able to do a shuttle anyway.
  
  Who is coming?
  
  See you there.
  
  Brian.

  Is anyone else coming? We need more than 2 of us. Conditions should be good after all the rain....
