The blond guide to kayaking or The Lugg, a dead sheep, a dead swan and two capsizes! It was a beautiful start to the day with lots of sunshine on the journey to Leominster with Paul C. We met Graham, Clive, Steve and Frizz Ease at 10 am and after all the usual [...] Sunday 4th will be a kayak paddle. Lugg Green to Leominster based on who responded to comms. Meet Leominster car park by fire station at 10:00. There is likely to be portaging due to high levels. It may be a bit nippy so take a hot drink and snacks (doesn’t apply to me). Surf report for Sunday is pants but it’s very good conditions for tomorrow (Saturday). The current situation is that Ben Brown (quartermaster) is going on Saturday and I may be joining him. If anyone else is wishes to go then contact Ben (number on programme). We are also planning to do something on Sunday. We [...] For the second winter in a row, Caroline arranged a mainly open canoe paddle from Arley to Bewdley on the Severn although a few people kayaked. This was to be part of the warm up series towards the 100 mile trip with an Adam coaching session of equipment packing and stowage before we started. [...] 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). It’s categorised as a grade 2 river with a few grade 3 bits that can be portaged but as it’s a 130 mile drive each [...] We had a very pleasant paddle this morning on the Avon. There was Caroline, Tony, Clive, Lyndon, Caryl and me. We were all ready on time and left PRSC at 9:30 and headed to Fladbury as planned only to be met with a really impressive water level downstream of the weir (see pics). The usual [...] 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. Please watch this space as [...] |
