Another relaxed sober social. We will be going to the durham climbing centre to try our hands at some bouldering.
Meet there around 19:00, probably easiest to get the bus to the council offices. The climbing centre address is St John's Rd, Meadowfield, Durham DH7 8TZ.
I think it costs around £9.
DUCC MOVEMBER 24 HOUR KAYAK CHALLENGE
What's going on?? DUCC members will be kayaking/canoeing continuously on the River Wear, in shifts, for 24 hours between Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November.
Please put your name down for as little or as much time as you would like to do. You can use any type(s) of canoe/kayak and do whatever you like on the water (games, polo, social paddle, time trial etc). We will also be running 'Wednesday-style' chill paddles which you can sign up to. Nobody will be on the water alone, and only the most experienced paddlers will be on the river during dark hours. There will be a £3 participation fee, paid directly to the club's Movember fundraising link (coming soon). Please do ask family and friends to donate too! We encourage everyone to record their paddle on strava (or similar app) so we can add up the total distance paddled! Here is the link to a terrible spreadsheet where you can sign up:
