Event created by Skipton Pete (Riley)
The idea will be to have some safe fun! If I haven't paddled with you before I will contact you personally so we can find the best river 'fit' for the team. An opportunity perhaps to learn / consolidate skills and perhaps do some leadership shadowing if you wish. I'm happy for more experienced paddlers to come along, but please give Improver / Intermediates the opportunity to RSVP first. We will set up the customary WhatsApp group before the day.
