Xmas Paddle 2009

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 part of the weir which is usually a scrape to go down had a deep stopper running full length so we all shot it on the right which had a nice wave train running through the middle. This was Lyndon and Caryls first river trip so they were already off to a challenging start.

Where did the water come from?

Well today’s trip to Symonds Yat was a washout as you can see from the photos. So instead I did something which I have never done before and went up the hill to Yat Rock and had a look around there. You get amazing views and can really see how the river meanders. I took these pics from high up looking down on the rapids which didn’t even have a wave on them. 
If anyone is doing any paddling over the coming week then let us know and we will spread the word.

Todays Teme trip Sunday 15th November.

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 C.  John H decided not to paddle and kindly ran the ferry for us and helped at the finish.
We started off with a briefing, assignment of roles and buddies.  Luke and me to lead (supported by Adam) and Clive and Steve2 to bring up the weir and offer support at weirs.  This was folowed by ferry gliding, break ins and break outs for warm up and then off we headed to the first weir. Nice and easy start with a breakout by the island on the left. … read more?

Ludlow CastleThis 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 sharing arrangements. If you are unsure of your suitability then contact Adam who will advise.
We will meet in the car park at The Linney just beside the river at 9:30. This is directly below the castle. Google map on the link below.
Ludlow Start point
If you need equipment then please contact Adam as early as you can so we can arrange this as well.
