Refreshers Weekend

Friday 31st January 2020 18:00 at Lake District (rivers, obviously)

Time for the annual refreshers trip!

It's that time of year where we pack up and go kayaking down whitewater in Cumbria. It's guaranteed to be a fun weekend of paddling in the beautiful Lake District.

We will be staying at the Braithewaite Hall in Far Sawrey, meaning sleeping bags/roll mats are a must! If you don't have them, just let us know and we'll do what we can to sort you out. We will be making our own food, as the hall has cooking facilities there.

Costs will be £16 for the accommodation, plus food and fuel contributions with that. As such, the total cost will be in the region of £30 for the weekend.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
