Spring midweek river paddling series I am hoping to run an advanced river but of course this is heavily dependent on Water levels I am going to admit defeat and cancel the trip - there is just no water

Monday 24/01/2022 There is absolutely no water at the moment. There is however a Lake. A possible solution would be to meet at Newby Bridge with Sea Kayaks and paddle up Windermere Does everybody have a Sea Kayak? What do we think?

Could I ask people to remove their name - just so I know that everyone is aware of the cancellation If you wish to get out next Sten has kindly arranged a trip on Tuesday with the same criteria My son who lives with us has contracted COVID and so will be self - isolating for a minimum of 7 days possibly 10 days Government advice recommended that I take a daily Lateral Flow Test and "limit close contact with other people outside your household, especially in crowded, enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces" I have cancelled all arrangements for any future kayaking I had planned. I would be unfortunate, to say the least, if I where to test positive following a day out kayaking. With that in mind I am going to cancel next weeks Beginner Trips. My apologies but I think it is the best course of action Brian
