Event details:
This Saturday the 14th DUCC is going to run the first introduction to whitewater trip of the year!
This is a trip that includes driving to a river about an hour away so will cost about £12. exact price will be worked out after the trip and it depends if each car is full.
In terms of ability - you must be able to paddle confidently on flat water in a straight line and be able to turn comfortably. A spray deck is also a requirement, so you need to have used one before and be comfortable with it. If you have any doubts or questions please speak with Joshua or Charlotte; or any of the leaders at a session and we will happily advise you or point you to who to talk to.
Please wear warm, non-cotton clothes to wear on the water, ideally including a couple of fleeces, wetsuits will be provided but more layers on top are recommended for a first session so you don't get cold, you don't have to wear them all, but if you haven't got them with you you can't use them. Then also bring spare clothes for afterwards to change into before getting back in the car, a towel, lunch, snacks and warm items for after so that the experience is much more enjoyable!
Also, you need to have club membership before coming on this trip. Membership is £50 for the year plus you need to have TD membership which if you don’t already have will cost £35. Any questions ask Patrick.
Arrive for the boathouse at 9:00 and we will get all the
boats and kit sorted and on cars before heading off to the river.
Signup opens at 7p.m. Wednessday.
For the returners who missed out on the paddle on the 23rd of September; don't worry I will be running something for you again soon. :)
