The event is subject to a suitable water level, else it will be cancelled or moved to  a different river( likely to be a section of the Eden)

You should have a basic idea of how to read moving water and break in and out and ferry glide. Expect rapids up to grade 2.

RSVP limit is 12.

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.

RSVP at least 2 days before the event

No guests.
