    OFFICIALLY CANCELLED sue to weather conditions

     

    Evening LCC amid-seekers

     
    5 left out of 10 for tomorrows paddle.
     
    Thank you for your loyalty.
     
    I have been tracking the weather today, from Leeds, whilst on our weekly child care duty with Archie Michael.
     
    It seems to have got worse and worse.
     
    9pm it predicts:
     
    7.5 cm of snow from 9am til 4pm
    1/2 degrees
    With RISING a high pressure
    NNW from 14-21 mph
     
    So looks like the sensible thing to do is to CANCEL - especially with snow endangering driving.
     
    However - I will review this early in the morning, in case a Caribbean heat wave appears through the night!!!!
     
    I was looking forward to the paddle and to catch up with John S and Graeme W - so perhaps we could do this anyway - Killington Lake or Services tomorrow for coffee.

    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.

    Evening Mark, Dean and Eric - the adventure sea kayak squad of LCC

    Though still frozen over here this eve and Sunday, it all goes crazy on Monday with 12degrees!! and rain with light winds on Tuesday and 8degrees.

    This could give us the water we need for a Tees Tour.

    if we meet at Brough Clock tower at the Inn at Brough, we could drop off Eric’s car and he and I share, while Dean and Mark will be sharing any way.  8.30am in Brough.

    we will stick to plan A and if water levels are low, move down towards Yarm to enter the Tees and cruise down to the Barrage, in what May feel like Caribbean weather.

    please email me with your thoughts.

    Thank you Andrew - my font of knowledge.

    my co leader is not keen, so we will be prudent and go for the Bassenthwaite-Cockermouth trip, down the lower Derwent.

    plenty of water but not in flood.

    meet earlier at 9.15am Peel Wyke launch and ready for a shuttle at 9.30am.

    I will WhatsApp everyone and personal email.

    hope this fits everyone schedule, so WORKINGTON is CANCELLED

    happy days and see our intrepid group tomorrow morning.

    Mike and John
