  1. The level of ability for these paddling trips is aimed at people who are already consider themselves an Improver and who may wish to progress to an Intermediate standard. British Canoeing Moderate Water remit specifies one leader to a maximum number of six participants but I feel four is more preferable number. 1. Event coordinator: Brian Clough 2. Trip Leader: Brian Clough 3. Trip type: River 4. Level of Ability: Improver - At the upper end of the British Canoeing remit for Moderate Water ie. Grade 2 (3) 5. Date: 28/02/2024 6. Venue/Meet/Share Lifts: Meet at 10:00 7. If I haven't paddled with you before please contact me to discuss via WhatsApp: I'm in LCC River Kayaking (number ending 948). 8. Anything else: Bring a Picnic and a Warm Flask for a stop along the way.

Dry suits only - 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. Kayak specific helmets with protection over temples and ears must be worn on theses trips.

  11. Park and Practice River Leven Below the Slalom Course Parking in layby on the Northside of the carriageway, just before the bridge when travelling from Barrow to Kendal. When travelling form Kendal, I usually turn round at the Backbarrow junction and go back to the layback. It is a very busy, fast road - please be careful Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/bDsnv4Cc2GXRahvx5 Street Maps: https://www.streetmap.co.uk/map?x=335330&y=484303&z=120&sv=335330,484303&st=4&ar=Y,y&mapp=map&searchp=ids&dn=757&ax=335330&ay=484303&lm=0 Open to all levels of ability for these paddling sessions Practice in play boats, practice in river boats, try rolling, anything you want No direct coaching but I would envisage everybody working together and learning from each other. 1. Event coordinator: Brian Clough 2. Trip Leader: Brian Clough 3. Trip type: Park and Practice on Flat Water 4. Level of Ability: Must be self reliant to a degree, prepared to work with others and practice without individual direct supervision 5. Date: 17/05/2023 6. Venue: River Leven Below of the Slalom Course 7. Meet: Meet at 18:00 8. Anything else: Park and play session and the water is very accessible and so people could dip in and dip out as they wish, I will be there before 18:00, people could arrive s0oner or later and choose when they wish to leave. Trying to keep it very informal. I am happy to co-ordinate and lead the session. However, as a group, we are jointly responsible for each other’s safety on the water. Park and Practice in warmish water so wear what you feel is appropriate. PFD and Kayak specific helmets still required I will try and put these sessions on a regular basis but welcome feedback on frequency, location and time.
  12. Don't worry Paul - I'll put some more sessions on
