  4. There is probably going to be no water this Thursday but the Sea is quite full with a tide of 9.3m at 11:36 I wondered if, and it is if, because I am not 100% sure everybody has sea kayaks, we could have a run up the Leven Estuary If we met for a start time of 09:36 (sharp) with a sea kayak we could explore the estuary What do people think?

The forecast has been pretty consistent all week and I don't think the situation will change Another day? The level of ability for these paddling trips is aimed at people who are in their early stages of their development as whitewater paddlers and who are building up their experience of running rivers. I find it really hard not too be welcome anybody onto any trip, but on occasion when intermediate or advanced paddlers attend these trips people for whom these trips are intended are unable to attend. British Canoeing Moderate Water remit specifies one leader to a maximum number of four participants. Please could people consider their suitability for these trips before signing on. The rivers I have in mind would not exceed British Canoeing remit for Moderate Water -Grade 2(3) Could I emphasize ......
