Our annual Easter paddle

White Water

From October to early March the club run trips on local rivers. We run trips suitable for beginners and above training for 3 star white water.

White-water paddling is exciting and gives the participant new and interesting ways in which to entertain the coaches! We run trips on most Sundays (and some Saturday's) during the season, depending on water levels. Be warned. It does get cold - so wrap up warm!More..
