DUCC is going on to Tyne Tour - this will include a weekend packed full of fun and organised by the official Tyne Tour committee! The full tour ticket is £30 and includes, 2 days of paddling, the classic Ceilidh, a firework display, and lots of entertainment from your fellow paddlers and the wider paddling community!
Note: there will be an additional fuel charge and potential hiring of tents change which will be equally distributed among all attendees but this will be sorted after confirmation of booking.
The river is the North Tyne and is classed as a grade 1 and 2 river and there will be lots of safety for this white water event! If you do sign up please can you send your money to the DUCC account ASAP so that we can do a bulk order of tickets, (if you have any queries about payment please speak to Sarah Appleby).
If you have any queries about this trip please speak to Charlotte (DUCC Trip Officer) and she will happily advise you, if you have any camping kit that you are willing to let the club borrow please let Charlotte know as that will massively help when organising. Eg: tent, sleeping bag, roll mat, cooking stoves, camping chairs etc!

13:00-15:00
Basic polo drills on the river wear!
Aimed to intermediate/competent paddlers, however no canoe polo experience is necessary. Aim to be on the water quickly with the potential for a 10-minute break halfway through so bring a snack as well as the usual towel and change of clothes.
NOTE - These sessions will be dark, and cold, and potentially quite miserable depending on how many alarms I missed that morning. Swimming at this time will likely lead to filling out paperwork because of the cold. As such, these sessions are exclusively reserved for club members who have either been to a morning session previously, or have been told by the exec that they are suitable. If you're in doubt, ask Joe/Sarah.
7.15 start. Don't be stood around waiting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morning fitness resumes! Meet at the boathouse for 7.15am, off the water and dry-ish by 8.30am. Sometimes these will be super intense sprint sessions, other times it will be chill skills based workouts. Yes, I do have a season plan for this (Novel I know - See Below). Bring gear that will keep you warm! And DEFINITELY bring spare clothes and a towel.
Small number of places for this session at post, but if more leaders are present this will change. If you're for some reason desperate to be out of bed super early on a Monday morning, keep an eye on this page.
