For all trips, some money to cover your share of the
transport/parking costs is useful. You can bring your
own kayak & equipment or borrow club boats. Most trips
meet at the Club House, to reduce the number of cars
being taken, but sharing lifts directly from home can
also be arranged when Seaton is not en-route.Winter Paddling Programme (2011-12)
Winter programme is announced.
(UPDATED to v2) Note: Ad-hoc trips will happen at short notice when the 'surfs
up' or river water levels high (e.g. Tavy, Usk, etc.). Please give your Mobile Phone numbers to
Tash or Phil
as they will text you with details of the trips.
The winter paddles includes:
- Pool sessions
- Introduction to Moving Water sessions
- Trips on the lower, loop, and upper Dart, various
sections of the Barle, and Axe.
- River Axe Race
Winter Kit List:
For the winter trips, warm, dry and spare clothing is essential:
- Base layer: thermals – top and bottom.
- Over layer: Wet Suit or man made fibre over
garments e.g. rash vest, track suit, fleece.
- Good quality cag – Club ones are OK, but if you
feel the cold and want an extra two or three hours
comfort in winter, it may be a good idea to purchase
a cag. Have a word with one of the coaches.
- Thermal socks and gloves – extremities will get
cold!!!
- Spare clothing and kit in a dry bag: top and
bottom, gloves and wool hat, some money (£5),
survival bag, emergency food – chocolate/ energy
bar/ biscuits, water
- First aid kit – the group leader will have one,
but you will need to get in the habit of carrying
your own.
