I am happy to co-ordinate and lead the trip for 5 paddlers and more if I have another leader. However, as we will be a team, we are jointly responsible for one another’s safety on the water.

Please ensure you carry the correct kit for the trip – plenty of food and drink to share.

RSVP at least 2 days before the event.

let’s be rational and not get too involved with media hype.

Today the Eden is dropping and heavy rain is not predicted until 8am in the morning.

15mph with stronger gusts SSE - it will mainly behind us if we start at the SANDS, central Carlisle and reduce the distance to 15K by Paddling to Rockcliff, Solway.

predications talk about temperatures raising from 4 to 10degreesC !!

Pressure is dropping dramatically as the day progresses.

I am confident the water will not be dangerously flooding.

I am confident it will rain

I am confident if we reduce the distance and paddle from the Sands Carlisle 15K to Rockcliff we will all enjoy both the “crack and paddle”, with the winds behind us for much of the journey.

if Predictions change dramatically I will cancel early in the morning.

PLEASE a bring a helmet, spare clothing and your best waterproof paddling jacket.

See you at the Sands, Carlisle for 9am tomorrow.

I will amend the website.

Mike


ps:  however feel free to drop out if you desire.
