Welcome to DUCC!
Come join us for a chill paddle on the River Wear! This session is suitable for complete beginners so don't worry if you've never paddled before.
We provide all of the kayaking kit and the session is completely free (we offer three free sessions each). All you'll need is a spare change of clothes (just in case you get wet), some trainers to wear on the water, and a towel. Where possible, try to come to your session in what you intend to wear on the water.
Please come to the boathouse 15 minutes early so we can get you kitted up and choose a boat. We meet at the boathouse behind Maiden Castle next to the river (see the about tab for more info on where to find us)
If you have any questions, drop us a message on Instagram/Facebook.
We can't wait to see you on the water!

THE WEDNESDAY WARRIORS RETURN TO MC 13:30-15:00
The usual Wednesday session! This week's Wednesday paddle is for returners who were members of the club last year, just a chill couple of hours on the River Wear. - Some games, some skills, lots of fun.
If you don't know what to bring, come to tomorrow's session instead :)
See you there!
This is a preseason session, therefore only open to returners. If you want to get involved in the club, chat to the exec!
As this session is on the river, it may be changed/cancelled
at short notice due to weather - please keep an eye on your messages.
New year, new polo season! It’s time to dust off the
faceguards and get back to it!
Preseason will be focussing on some fundamentals and getting
everyone in a position to build on them throughout the season itself.
Any questions, chat to Sarah.
Returners white water paddle.
This Saturday the 23rd we are running a returners white water trip, open to anyone who has been on white water before.
Arrive at the boathouse for 8:30 a.m. then we will be back in time to get ready for Revs at 7 p.m. to continue Charlotte's birthday celebration.
Any questions please ask Charlotte or myself.

NOW AT 9AM BECAUSE WE ARE LAZY
Do you want to get up to go kayaking in the cold and damp? Of course you do!
Will be a mix of sprints, drills, chat, and general hard work but also fun.
Please make sure you are already comfortable wearing a spraydeck and with basic boat skills before coming (just because swimming at 9am isn't fun for anyone involved).
Can't wait to see you there

Meet at the boat house, now at 6pm.
We will paddle to town and back, so please make sure you are comfortable paddling that distance. If unsure, please ask Charlotte or Josh.
From the 5th – 9th of June.
Expected cost including: food, accommodation, and transport,
is about £100.
This trip Is planned to have a lot of activities, but there
is no obligation to paddle every day. Some of the activities panned so far:
easy white water on the Dee, a trip to the upper Tryweryn if it is releasing, then also a trip to the lower Tryweryn and
maybe some other rivers if we have water. One day we might have a mini Dee fest
with lots of fun and little challenges that all abilities can take part in. Flat
water paddles along the canal that includes the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct are also planned
(hopefully you don’t need to break the ice to get across it as I did in December). The plan is for it to be quite a social event, with a party planned on the 7th.
Please pay £24 to secure your place so I can pay for the
scout hut. The rest will be payable after the event, and the exact cost has
been worked out.
You will need a sleeping bag and roll mat as the scout hut doesn’t
have beds. The club has some that can be borrowed, and there are showers. :) If you would like to sleep comfortably you can buy an air bed for as little as £7 and I can bring a pump that can be used to blow it up.
