Fresher's River Trip

This is the first river trip of the year. It would be fantastic to see as many people there as possible. It is an easy stretch of the river, perfect for beginners, so come along and give it a go. If you're interested in coming along to Tyne Tour, then we recommend coming along on this trip.

We'll meet at the boathouse at 10 am to get everyone kitted up and ready. All you need to bring is yourself, warm clothes (NOT cotton), a dry set of clothes, a towel and a snack. We'll provide the paddling kit. You should expect to be out of Durham for the full day.

The cost of this trip will be £3.
