Well it was supposed to be a Valentines Day, but a few of us braved the cold weather, and it was cold, to have a session at Nafford this morning. Graham, Fitz, Richard W and Clive were there braving the cold. After some last minute arrangements I picked up Graham at just gone 6.30am and we headed down to Dulverton, some 130 miles south. It was about the same time last year that we did the Barle and the level then was very good, running a good grade III with bits of grade IV. This weekend’s trip is on the River Barle in the Exmore National Park. The trip will be from Tarr Steps down to the Bridge Inn at Dulverton (about 6 miles). We had a very pleasant paddle this morning on the Avon. There was Caroline, Tony, Clive, Lyndon, Caryl and me. Fitz, John Heath, Caroline, Paul D and Graham had a good paddle on the Usk today from Sennybridge to Aberbran. Conditions were good with the river being up but not difficult although we did have one incident which is documented well with photos. Sunday 29th trip which will be for paddlers of approaching 3 star or above due to the levels being quite high at the moment. Current plan is Usk from Sennybridge to Aberbran with an early start. Please contact Graham by 12 noon Saturday at the latest so we can make plans. We had a great paddle on the Teme today just doing the town section. The river level can best be described as high with a good flow which meant it was great to practice a whole range of moving water skills. The paddlers consisted of Adam, Clive, Luke, Graham(me), Wendy, Rita, Steve, Steve and Paul [...] This Sundays paddle will be on the Teme starting at Ludlow. We will probably just be paddling the town section and having some practice/coaching on the way. The river should be suitable for anyone who has done a river trip before however please contact Adam by lunchtime Saturday so that we can coordinate final car [...] Four of us went for a paddle on the Lugg on Sunday.We met at Leominster car park at 9:30 and were on the water at Lugg Green by 10:00. A chance to get out on a river and use some of the lovely rain we had last week. Conditions were good with a good flow. In [...] We’ve just returned from our open boat weekend on the dart. The trip was designed so that you carried all of your camping equipment, food, clothing etc with you in your boat.
