Friday Morning Fitness - Cancelled due to the weather

---**NOTE: The river levels have the potential to get a lil *spicy* this time of year so the session may be called off last minute **----

We take polo boats and spraydecks for these sessions. These are tippier than river boats and if you aren't comfortable in one then come on Wednesday instead. Any questions ask Charlotte/Ben/Noah/Josh

Do you want to go kayaking in the cold and damp? Of course you do.

Meet at the boathouse at 7:15am, off the water by 8:30am so everyone can get to those all important 9am lectures. Will be a mix of sprints, polo skills, chat, and general hard work but also fun.

Wednesday Chill Paddle

 ---**NOTE: The river levels have the potential to get a lil *spicy* this time of year so the session may be called off last minute. Keep an eye on the groupchat! **----

THE WEDNESDAY WARRIORS RETURN AT MC 13:30-15:00

The usual Wednesday session! Open to beginners and is simply a really chill couple hours on the River Wear. If you want to get into kayaking or simply have a fun afternoon on the river this is probably the session for you!

Please bring a fleece to wear on the water, spare shoes, plenty of spare clothes and a towel. It is best not to wear jeans on the water since these shrink when wet.

See you there!

Monday Pool Session

 Our Monday pool sessions are back!

Practice canoe polo, in a warm environment!
£5 for this week's session pool hire and transportation.  

Bring a towel, something you are happy to wear in the boat in the pool (Sports clothes or a swimming costume with shorts/leggings and a sports top work well) as well as a change of clothes for afterwards. 

Priority is given to those who have paid for membership but non-members are also welcome.
Meet at the boathouse at 7:30 pm for transport to the Pool session.

#ShePaddles WW trip

Hi all, Charlotte here!

DUCC presents its first #ShePaddles White Water Paddle. It will be a grade 2/3 river for girls interested in in white water but: haven't had the opportunity to sign up yet/want to progress their paddling/haven't been white water paddling in a while etc. 

It will be a small-ish group to help you progress your confidence and practice techniques on the river.

This is the perfect preamble before refreshers, or a great start to WW kayaking with DUCC!

Note: if popular it is likely we will need a male driver for numbers - Josh (our Trip officer) has happily agreed to support this initiative and be a driver for us... and photographer!

Current plan: arrive at the boathouse for 9:00, go to a river - tees area/tyne area, (weather dependant), run the river, and practice techniques and then head back to the boathouse at early evening time.

Any questions - give Charlotte a message!

Intermediate White Water trip.

If we have enough rain to have river levels above a scrape, this should be an easy intermediate WW paddle this Saturday the 13th.

Meet at the boathouse 9 a.m. Any questions please feel free to ask Josh or Nick.

The forecast is not promising much rain, so there is a chance of it not running.
