OPEN CANOE White Water Trip Sat 11th October

[admin]

Hi All. As Ian Ruse does not use the internet or computers he has asked me to post for this trip.
We have 2 plans of attack depending on river levels. If there is enough water we will run from Buckfastleigh to Staverton. If the levels are too low we will do some moving water practice and poling skills work near Staverton where we can work our way up and back down.
Ian has also arranged that we can borrow the Kayaks and Paddles Canoe trailer so we wont need to take so many vehicles up. Club boats are available for this trip.
The river will be low and slower running so a great start for those who fancy a go at either tandem or solo river canoeing. It open for all members who are of 2 star standard or above. (if your are close but not taken your 2 star yet please speak to me.)

Please post here if you are thinking of joining us and as to if you need club kit or if you have your own boat.

Thank
Andy

Hi All, I have spoken to Ian and the levels low but good enough to run the trip from Buckfastleigh to Staverton.
We will be using the trailer to transport boats from Mount Batten.
Ian has asked to meet at Mount Batten for 8am so we can load up and car share and get on the river for around 10am.
Remember its likely to be doing rain showers during the day and wlll be colder so please bring some warm drink food and clothing to change into after.

So Far the members who have contacted me about joining us are
Ian – own Boat
Andy N – Own Boat
Jen – Own Boat
Andy Kittle? – Own Boat
Justin plus one – Club Boat
Paul R – Club Boat

If there is anyone else wanting to join us please either contact me or post here

Thanks
Andy

Slight change of plan as we can’t have the trailer. So still meeting at Mount batten with the aim to reduce cars etc.
See you there for 8am

What a good day out with all today. Levels needed that little burst overnight and were just right for the first one of the season. Thanks Ian and Andy for the organization and everyone else for this run in lovely sunny Oct weather.
