I am happy to co-ordinate the trip and organise leaders for the session. However, as we will be a team and 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. Note: Dry suits only please - in summer it might be possible to manage without a dry suit, but in winter an early dip has more severe consequences for the individual concerned and the rest of the group.

RSVP 2 days prior to trip: initially set at 5 paddlers* (one leader, four improvers). 

Club members only. No guests, sorry.

Edit. This  trip will be aimed at the easier end of improver kayaking being the first improver session of the season.
