With the club spread all over the country this term, we are aiming to traverse the length of the country together in a virtual challenge. The aim is to travel the equivalent distance from John O'Groats to Land's End (the two furthest points in the country) via Durham; that is 848miles or 1365km!
Please support us with a donation to MIND. This charity that means a lot to our members and has come under increasing pressure this year. Any donation small or large would be fantastic.

Alternately, if you would like to run or walk for us please contact the club to start logging your miles!

NSR 2021
A kayaking party weekend like no other. Swimmers (literally) are the winners, no paddling skills required. Just an ability to have fun.
Early signup, because apparently half a years notice isn't enough for some people, so a full year has to be.

Considering we still haven't heard whether canoeing will be cancelled due to lockdown, we are making the most of the last two days of freedom to run another one-off polo training session!
Max 12 paddlers and we can split into x2 groups if we have more than 8 people.
Group A: arrive at the boathouse at 3pm
Group B: arrive at the boathouse at 3:15pm
If we don't have many people we will just form one group and arrive at 3pm.

Sunday 1st November 2020 12:00 at Tyne Green, Hexham
Unfortunately, Tyne Tour has taken the decision to cancel this years event because of the current climate. I'm pretty distraught about this, huge apologies!
What this does mean is that something will be planned in its stead - no details as of yet, this page will be updated in time.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Early signup list!
Tyne Tour is a paddling festival that takes place over a weekend early in Michaelmas term. It's a fun weekend of kayaking, with a ceilidh on the Saturday evening for entertainment. This is not an event to miss, it's great fun for everyone involved.
Last year, prices were £20 for tickets, plus a little more for food/fuel. Worth every penny.
Actual dates/prices will appear on this page as soon as I have them, along with more details about the event.
Happy paddling!
