Intermediate - River Crake

Not Official LCC Event

09/02/2019 Sat morning

At present (08:20) good to go. Still worried about the bridge and Matt is going to drive down and check.

If we get there and it is not on, we could go to the  Esk, Great Langdale Beck or the Duddon as an alternative

Social Paddle for Intermediate paddlers

1. Grade 2/3 river section - River Crake.

2. The Crake is a serious river and 2/3 can be misleading. On the previous runs there were loads of potentially dangerous trees and though the situation has now improved somewhat - trees will always be an issue on this river. There is a must run rapid that cannot be inspected on the last section down to Spark Bridge.

3. Saturday 9th February.

4. Meet 10.00 a.m. Spark Bridge, next to the Bus Shelter.

5. Check water levels / sort out lifts the night before.

6. Trips may be cancelled or rearranged at short notice depending upon weather, and the preferences of those paddling.

7. To avoid a wasted journey, please ensure the trip co-ordinator knows you plan to attend, and has your mobile number.
