This session is aimed to help de-stress after a week of revision. Although, if you are one of the lucky ones who finished your exams last week you are still welcome!
It will be a nice and chill paddle to catch up and unwind.
Please bring normal paddling kit.
This session is for reasonably competent paddlers as we will be doing a small trip down the river. Message Nick Case if you are not sure if you qualify.
We're going to the Barrage!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: More spaces may become available if we get more cars/drivers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Tees Barrage is open on Saturday, and we're going along.
11am at the boathouse, for the 12.30pm 2 hour session. We should be all back in Durham by 4pm.
Tees Barrage is not a difficult course. But it shouldn't be your first go on whitewater, so don't signup if you're brand new. Previous river experience is required here - if you've been on any of the trips this year or previously, you should be okay. Remember to bring spare clothes, food, and a towel.
The price of this session is £15, plus fuel costs.

Hey everyone,
TLDR: Provisional dates and interest registering for this Scotland trip! Currently, the dates are 21st-25th March (Monday-Friday), with kayaking every day. All abilities welcome, though 1 or 2 rivers may be for higher skills only. Estimated cost is £90 per person.
Longer Version: Kayaking in the Scottish Highlands is fun, and challenging for all levels of paddlers! This will make for a fantastic week, so I'd encourage you to come along if you can. Meet at the boathouse for 9am on the Monday, and return late-ish on the Friday. We're staying in lodges, so bring plenty of warm clothing and towels. Don't worry if you have work to do - I'll be bringing plenty along with me, and you'll have time in the evenings to do this stuff. The current costs - assuming 12 people sign up - are £88.62, and this includes food, lodging and transport.
Here's a url to all the photos from the last time we went as a club: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1q-t6w6GNQMI7r-gcGN1bgH-rORaNSun6
If you have any questions, ask me (Martin) about it. I hope to see as many of you as possible!

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 Martin.
Also, 7.15 start. Note the time change. Don't be stood around waiting.
