Beginners white water trip Sunday 27th November 2016. " UPDATED "
I will run a beginner white water trip on Sunday 27th November. This trip will be aimed at paddlers of around 2 star ability.
No previous white water experience required. Remember the weather has turned and air and water temperatures are low. Paddling kit suited to these conditions should be worn. Bring a hot drink and snack. I will decide on location later in the week when water levels are more apparent. Likely to be either the Lower Dart or Lower Teign.
Meet at the club 9am ready to load boats. Club boats and kit can be used on this trip.
I will update on Friday evening. Please indicate interest on this post.
Any questions please ask. I shall be at the club on Tuesday evening.

After the high water levels last weekend we are back to low levels. I think there should just be water in the Teign to allow us to run the section from Fingle Bridge to Steps Bridge. Meet at the club as above or at Fingle Bridge 10.15am. I hope to leave a couple of cars with dry kit at Steps Bridge on the way and do shuttle after trip so if meeting at Fingle Bridge you will have to make your own arrangement to get dry kit to the finish.
See you all on Sunday.

As regards kit wetsuit and cag should be fine. Absolute minimum I would suggest would be a good cag and waterproof trousers with good layers of thermal insulation under.
I would expect to be on the water for about 2 hours.
Hope this helps.

Strictly not a beginner but haven't been in white water / short boat since March so would like to come on the trip if there is a space to get going again. Let me know if ok to attend
Regards Stuart
As discussed on Tuesday I'd like to join this trip. I can transport 2 extra people and boats. I'll also bring the spare kit that is for sale including a roofrack.
