Well here we are again still not really knowing what river we may be paddling due to the water levels but disregarding that there will be a paddle this Sunday for both Beginners and Intermediate paddlers hopefully on the Dart which should include the Loop and the Lower. There is quite a bit of rain forecast for the next couple of days but if the levels are still too low then the Tamar it will be. At this time please meet at the Coop car Park in Plympton ready to leave at 0900 hrs. For those paddlers who live nearer the venue see you in the layby at Holne Weir at 0930 hrs. I would be obliged if you are coming along to please leave an indication on here so that we know the numbers with regard to safety cover. I will update this post on Saturday evening when hopefully I will know better what the levels are. Be warned this weekend is likely to be on the cold side ๐ฏ ๐ฏ so please make sure you are wearing an adequate number of layers of clothing with the addition maybe of a nice warm drink. ๐ ๐
KenIf it’s the Dart then I’ll be there too please. I live out that way and so I’ll see you at Holne Weir.
Thanks!

I am sure you are all pretty much aware that the weather forecast has changed quite dramatically over the last couple of days and now we are probably looking at TOO much water. The level on the Austin Bridge Guage is currently showing 1.03 and the forecast for tonight is at least 6 hours of heavy rain plus showers so whatever happens if this is right it is looking quite high. We will not know with any certainty until the morning so please meet at the Coop Car Park as planned where we will make a decision there. The Walkham is a likely alternative so I am sorry if you want to go paddling you will have to meet with everybody else. The good news is it is not going to be as cold as originally forecast.
Keep smiling and see you in the morning ๐ ๐
KenBum! Will have to get out of bed earlier to get to Plympton. Ken, if you truly love me
, please phone me if you are doing the loop. Will see you regardless, wouldnโt miss it for anything! I love the Waltham so will be glad to paddle anything.
JaneGavin was planning on coming and it would be his first river trip. Do you want me to tell him to give this one a miss due to the level?
I’m going for an early dinner at Riverford and so I’ll paddle the Loop with the students rather than risk missing that if we paddle the Walkham. The levels are looking peachy and the sun’s shining and so have a great day wherever you end up!
