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 - decent helmet a must (https://lakelandcanoeclub.wordpress.com/whitewater-safety-helmets/) and drysuit recommended!

Please also familiarise yourself with these river signals https://lakelandcanoeclub.wordpress.com/whitewater-safety-river-signals/ although we will go through these on the day.

Whatsapp group will be set up before hand, please check around 8am on Saturday morning for river decision. 

RSVP at least 1 day before the event

If I haven't paddled with you before please contact me to discuss (via WhatsApp: I'm in LCC River Kayaking number ending 174)
