5. Date: Saturday 26th March

6. Venue : Brown Howe Coniston Water

7. Meet location / time : Meet at laybys just north of Brown Howe http://streetmap.co.uk/map?X=329102&Y=491282&A=Y&Z=120 with a fall back option of using the pay and display carpark 09:30 

8. Meet to arrange shuttle: No Shuttle

9. Anything else: 

The loose plan is to go for a short paddle to warm up and loosen off, spend as long as we need doing dry stuff (towing etc). have a break then do some wet stuff. Bring a flask and a sandwich along with calm weather and sunshine.

Bring any gear you want to practice / experiment with. Tow lines, contact tow systems, paddle floats etc, bring a pump if you have one.

Getting wet is not mandatory, you can still come and learn through observation.

Please dress warm.

A dry suit is recommended. If you don't have a dry suit bring your normal paddling gear and if you want to have a practice do so just before we get off the water.

I will open the calendar for booking on Saturday 19th March with a limit of 8 participants.

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.
