   Hi All, I am doing my Advanced Canoe Leader Assessment in both Open and Whitewater. I require guinea pigs to lead for this if you are available please RSVP. Details below. And questions. Ask me or Sean. 
   Hi folks   We have an opportunity to be led on a pair of advanced canoe leader assessments.  We are hoping for advanced open and white water assessment on 15,16 February.  If we do not get conditions to run both assessments we will run whatever one we have conditions for. There is of course a chance we don't get conditions for either of them.   If you want to come on this you should ideally be available for both days.    On the open water day there will be a led journey and some rafted or solo sailing depending what is appropriate in wind above force 4   On the white water water day we will be going on a grade 3(4) river such as the Leven or duddon.   Canoes and sails can be hired for the open water day.  We have one old venture prospector that can be hired for white water day. I am not massively keen on hiring out the royalex boats for the white water day. We would ask that any equipment damaged would be replaced or repaired   Please let me know your availability as soon as possible. I will then be keen to chat about your suitability for either day.  
   If we get conditions it will be a great couple of days

   Improver to Interm…

   
   

   16 February 2023

   It is only Tuesday and it may yet change but probably low water
   Proposing a flat water session
   If we meet as for the Leven put in
   https://www.streetmap.co.uk/map?x=336750&y=486468&z=115&sv=336750,486468&st=4&ar=Y,y&mapp=map&searchp=ids&dn=862&ax=336750&ay=486468&lm=0
   We could go up river in to the pools by Fell Foot and practice.
    
   The level of ability for these  paddling trips is aimed at people who are already consider themselves an Improver and who may wish to progress to an Inter
   mediate standard.
   These particular days are for Kayaks only.
   I find it really hard not too be welcome anybody onto any trip, but on occasion when 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 six participants but I feel four is more preferable number.
   1. Event coordinator: Brian Clough
   2. Trip Leader: Brian Clough
   3. Trip type: River Leven - Upstream of Newby Bridge
   4. Level of Ability: Improver - At the upper end of the British Canoeing remit for Moderate Water ie. Grade 2 (3)
   5. Date: 16/02/2023
   6. Venue/Meet/Share Lifts:   Meet at 10:00
   7. If I haven't paddled with you before please contact me to discuss via WhatsApp: I'm in LCC River Kayaking (number ending 948)
   8. Anything else:
   Bring a Picnic and a Warm Flask for a stop along the way.
   Please read notes regarding river trips here …….
   https://lakelandcanoeclub.wordpress.com/trips/
   I am happy to co-ordinate and lead the trip. However, as we will be a team, we are jointly responsible for each other’s safety on the water.
   Please ensure you carry the correct kit for the trip you are attending. We can discuss any questions about the kit required and/or alternatively…….
   https://lakelandcanoeclub.wordpress.com/whitewater-safety/
   There is a link at the bottom of the page for Kit. There are other useful links, all of which are recommended reading.
   Could I emphasize ......
   Dry suits only - in summer it might be possible to manage without a dry suit, but in winter an early dip has more severe consequences for the individual concerned and the rest of the group.
   Kayak specific helmets with protection over temples and ears must be worn on theses trips. Something like a Sweet Rocker as oppose to a Sweet Strutter - other brands are available
   Details can be found here…….
   https://lakelandcanoeclub.wordpress.com/whitewater-safety/5/
   The club does have a number of kayak specific helmets available for hire
   
   Could I also draw your attention to …….
