Event details:
Meet at the boathouse at 9am and we hope to be back
at 5pm. The expected cost will be between £5 and £10 to cover the cost
of fuel (please see the message in the socials chat for more details about how
trip finances work).
This is a fantastic opportunity to give whitewater kayaking
a go or brush up on some skills if you are already a veteran!
This trip is strictly only open to those who:
-
Can confidently paddle on flat water (i.e. straight
line and turning)
-
Are comfortable wearing a spray deck AND has
performed a capsize drill that was witnessed by a current DUCC leader.
If you have not yet completed a capsize test, please
send me (Jake) a message and then sign up to this week ‘Wednesday Warriors’
and we can do it there. Do NOT sign up to this trip until you have completed
one.
If you cannot paddle confidently on flat water, it will not
be appropriate for you to go on this trip, however there will be plenty of
opportunity to hone your skills by coming along to ‘Wednesday Warriors’.
We will provide wetsuits, cags, and kayaking equipment but you
must bring:
- Warm layers* (thermals and fleeces- NOT jeans)
- Shoes you don’t mind getting wet and muddy (old trainers
are ideal- NO CROCS OR SLIDERS)
- Packed lunch
- Water bottle
- Change of clothes (including hat gloves etc)
- Towel to change with
- Waterproof jacket
- Any personal medication you may need, e.g. inhaler (please
let an exec member know if this is the case)
Also please make sure you have eaten a good breakfast before
you arrive at the boat house on Saturday (think ‘Noah Coombe’…)
Any questions or concerns please do message me, or any other
exec members!
Hope to see you there!
