Weather permitting, we will endeavour to run a White water trip on one of these dates. if a river isnt suitable then we maylook at turning it into an open water trip.
Beginner level again, will spend a bit of time looking at and honing some skills.

looking at the forecast we will have rain, but also hig winds forecast again for saturday. If the rain falls and the wind drops hopefully we will get onto a river! more details closer to the time.
Plan is to meet at Maclaines at 8.30 to load boats. Recommend carrying a spare paddle. Helmets will be needed and Lunch (and warm layers) recommended.
plan will be to meet at the pull in just after the layby and bridge (see link).
initial part of paddle will be some coaching, Looking at Eddies, breaking in, breaking out, ferry gliding, looking at what the water is doing (pathways etc). then lunch, then we will push on down to the get out.
(wheels are advised - I will bring some spares)
Forecast is still looking at 18mph gusting 30mph (5-7 beaufort) at Buckfastleigh (at time of writing), but being on the river, we may be below this?
River level is looking ok.
Will update again tomorrow evening. Please post again if still interested/planning to come. cheers
wind is still blowing, but think we will go for it, we will have water. dont forget a hot drink and it is possible you may get wet!
Great day. Thanks all!
