Avon on a windy day

Bit of a last minute decision, Nick, Richard and Clive went for a paddle today. We had thought of doing the Teme but given the levels on Sunday we thought better of a bump and a scrape. … read more?

Another Teme Report

Another sunny morning greeted us at Knightwick weir on Sunday ready for our paddle on the Teme. Logistics of ferrying were quickly sorted out, everyone changed and piled into cars, and so myself, Clive, Paul, Jules, John, Tim, Richard, Claire and Laura, Emma, Andy and Dom all clambered down the muddy bank at Ham bridge and got on the water. … read more?

Club Canoes for Sale

Hi we are selling 2 of our current club canoes. They will be 2 that we have selected with the most wear although they are still in very reasonable condition for the price.
We have one 16 foot and one 14 foot canoe to sell.  They are being offered at £275 to club members and as we have had a bit of interest then you need to email Paul Craven by 7th December 2011 stating which boat you are interested in. Paul will hold a draw on Thursday night following the close date at the pool to announce the lucky winners.

There are a few terms and conditions:

  1. If you have not paid this years membership then you are not eligible to enter the draw.
  2. You will have one week after the draw to pay the money in full and take the boat away.

Contact Paul   quartermaster

The money will be put towards buying 2 more new canoes with slightly different characteristics.

WWSR Course was fun in November

At the begining of November I went to North Wales to do my WWSR (White Water Safety) course, the venue for this was the River Dee (link to UK rivers guide book)on both days. Mile End Mill all day Saturday and the Sunday we paddled from above Serpents Tail down to Mile End Mill.

The course (link to BCU course details) was run by Ian Dallaway, who is the RCO (Regional Coaching Officer) for the West Midlands.

Saturday was spent at Mile End Mill where we spent nearly all day in the river practicing and learning various rescue skills. Sunday we started above Town Falls and paddled down to Mile End Mill. On the way we did lots more rescue practice but this time involving kayaks as well as time in the river.

The course was really interesting and we covered some new techniques as well as practice other a lot, a most enjoyable weekend.
