Activities
White-water
PCA members have paddled white-water around the world: in Scotland,
Wales, the Alps in France and Austria, Corsica, California, Nepal and
Ecuador - and we still come back to paddle the local rivers.
The annual programme provides white-water trips and training every
weekend through the winter on grade 2 and 3 water. The trips usually switch
between the Middle Dart (The Loop), the Lower Dart and the Tamar in Devon.
Note: Local rivers are subject to access agreements limiting where and
when they may be paddled. Please ensure that you get permission and meet the
requirements of those agreements to preserve access.
The rivers
The Tamar (grade 2) from Horsebridge to Gunnislake, provides a
safe straightforward environment for novices and those being introduced to
white-water paddling (kayak or canoe). It is mostly flat, slow-moving water
with the occasional rapid for interest. The section upstream of this from
Greystone Bridge to Horsebridge (grade 2) also provides a pleasant trip.
