Sunday 18th Change to Programme

Given low water levels I suggest we change PRSC session to be a trip from Eckington to Twyning. PRSC 9:30am to pick up boats. 10:00am at Eckington Bridge to start shuttle. Canoes will be good, but (long) Kayaks would work as well. Contact Caroline if interested

Wye 100 Mile Trip - May 2010

At long last I’ve got time to compress the 500mb of photos and load them so you can see what we got up to over the first May bank holiday 5 day paddle. Thanks to Eddie and Caroline for their articles. I’ve been promised more so maybe this will prompt you for more. I’ve pictures from Adam, Ben, Caryl, Eddie, Fitz and me.
I personally thought it was well organised by Adam as I know it was a lot of hard work with a lot of logistics and people changes. Additional special thanks go out to Tony for transporting is there and back in a minibus, to John G and Fitz for running ferries and John G for camping at Hereford rowing club and overnight trailer storage and safe car storage for the week , to John H for arranging camping at Monmouth and for Jackie for collecting those who could only do 3 days. Hopefully I’ve not forgotten anyone.

As you may know we had a collection for Adam as his kit was so bad and you should be able to see him on a river near you wearing his bright yellow Shred reddy Full Cut helmet as a result.

May bank holiday weekend surfing.

We’ve now made a decision for this weekends surfing and chosen Sunday as the weather looks better.
Low tide is 8:30 and we will be meeting at the usual place in the car park, on the hill by the cafe at Rest Bay for 10:00 would be a good plan. Take some change for the car park. You can turn up later if you wish.

It’s a great beach for surfing and body boarding, kite boarding e.t.c. If you are planning to sit on the beach then there are a few rocky wind breaks but you may want to take your own depending on wind direction.  Remember to bring some sun protection.

If you want to check out the surf forecast then see this link magicseaweed or the regular magicseaweed link on our home page. The reports selection is at the top left of the msw page.
Google map to Rest Bay. You can zoom in and out on this map and switch to aerial photo view which gives a good shot of the car park. Note a top tip for the route is to go down the M50, A40, A449 to Newport to pick up the M4 as it avoids paying that nice big toll on the new bridge and it’s a more pleasant route.

Sunday 16th May River Lugg.

This Sundays paddle will be kayaks on the River Lugg from Lugg Green to Leominster.  The river level is on the low side which makes it an ideal trip for all of our members. If you would like to come but are unsure of your suitability then please contact Clive or Graham by 3pm (FA final) today (Saturday 15th). It’s a great opportunity to experience an interesting river trip and pick up some new group paddling skills and personal skills on the way. … read more?

Please take a look at the July weekend poster below and contact Tina as soon as possible as we will need to confirm bookings. It’s a great place to be located on the River Wye. We stayed there last year and on the first night of our recent 100 mile paddle.
