    Hi there intrepid paddlers!
    The forecast for rain this week – especially nearer the weekend – varies every day.
    We might have rain giving us some necessary water levels – or we might not!!
    I will review the situation nearer the end of the week.
    Meanwhile, plan to be & B&Q near Marsh Mills at 9am.
    Finger crossed for some wet stuff!

    Yo Yo Yo, Doug,
    The Banjo Player will be there,not sure how much rain if any,but one thing I would like to point out to our ppca members,come and join us this time of year is amazing.We live in a pretty awesome part of England and now is Autumn, the colours of the trees will take your breathe away especially if you like taking pictures,and you get wet,or swim,really is a good day out.Booyah!!!!!!!!!!!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    If there’s water I would like to join you for my first kayak trip of the season.

    I’ve not been on a river yet this year and so will begin, hopefully without too many hard rocks! Adam

    Hi there paddlers!

    I am afraid that the forecasts show no rain before Sunday ๐Ÿ™
    That means that the river levels will be empty/scrape/walk/drag…..!!
    For those that have some white water skills, I think it will not be stimulating,
    and for those who are new to white water, there won’t be enough flow to make skills coaching work well. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

    I am suggesting an alternative plan… โ“
    How about I take the group to Bigbury? The tide will be coming in.
    The surf forecast is very small and clean, but hopefully enough for some surf coaching.
    If that proves too small, we can go for a coastal paddle and take some lunch with us….

    I think it will be a better bet than the river. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi paddlers.
    I am cancelling the trip on Sunday.
    No rain. No water in the rivers.
    No surf. Too much wind.
    Rubbish!!
    Another time….
