Welcome to Axe Vale Canoe Club

About
Axe Vale Canoe
Club (AVCC)

The club is based in Seaton, Devon and offers a wide variety of canoeing disciplines including: touring, white water and sea paddling.

We have a range of fully equipped Canoes and kayaks including all the personal kit to go with them: buoyancy aids, cags, spray decks, helmets and over trousers. The club house has hot showers and facilities for refreshments.

We have around 95 members but are always looking to include new members to strengthen the club and provide you with new skills and an enjoyable time paddling. If you are interested in how to join us or our beginner and improvers courses, then look at Interested in Joining or the Courses page.

River Axe Access

The River Axe North of the A3052 road bridge near Colyford is closed to canoeing during the fishing season. So from March to October inclusive, please do not canoe on this section (applies to all canoeists).
Please go to ‘
Axe Access’ section for access arrangements.

Trips & Events:

The Winter Trips are now completed. We await the summer trip list to be published...

Book with Hays as these trips can be popular. Weather affects the plans and they may change,
so you must check with Hays on the Saturday.

Ad-hoc trips may still occur depending on weather and water conditions, so weekend trips are also arranged, on a "casual" basis, including surfing or other paddles. Arrangements are done via phone or Facebook - so look on Saturdays or ensure Phil/Tash have your phone number if you are interested.

Events:
