Get ready for Tyne Tour!
Tyne tour is an annual kayaking festival where lots of locals, universities and paddlers camp on the Tyne Green and paddle down the classic white water section of the North Tyne.
Each year as a club we introduce freshers to white water and the friendly paddling community by going on the river on Saturday, having a Ceilidh which is a 'Scottish dance' where a band tells you the instructions and you all have a go and a laugh. Camp overnight at the Tyne Green and finally DUCC decides on a suitable river for the Sunday paddle.
As this is an external event the cost of 'Tyne Tour' is £37.50 this year which includes the camping, soup for the Saturday lunch, the organisation and the hiring of the venue of the Ceilidh and that itself. Please pay into our normal DUCC account and we then send an invoice to the organisers by THIS WEEKEND!
In addition fuel and food will be bought for lunches but usually dinners is a takeaway for ease.
Plan:
Friday: drive to Tyne Green and pitch tents,
Saturday: paddle the North Tyne, have soup, get changed and Ceilidh
Sunday: pack up the tents, go paddle another river (Leaders discretion) go home back to Maiden Castle
