Monday Morning Fitness

Monday 12th June 2023 09:00 at Maiden Castle boathouse

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

Sunday Chill Paddle

Sunday 11th June 2023 18:00 at Maiden Castle boathouse

Kayaking Trip to Wales!

Monday 5th June 2023 09:00 at Llangollen - meet at boathouse.

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.
