Xmas Party - Great Success!

Thanks to everyone that attended the Xmas party; I think everyone would agree it was greatly enjoyed, adult and child alike.  Especial thanks to Wendy, Rita and Paul for running the Casino, and for Tina in providing the toys and adjudicating the winners.  And well done to everyone who got a prize or an award.    Happy Xmas from Caroline

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?

River Teme Sunday 15th November

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.

Lugg trip 8th November

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 this level we had to portage 2 weirs out of the seven however a bit more water would have meant one more portage but more waves which although good could have been with being a bit cleaner.
Weather was dry and a bit cold but better than the heavy rain back home. 
Apologies to some of our more recent members from our Chairman if you didn’t receive the text as he unfortunately used an old text group (now deleted).
Here are a couple of photos. As usual the photographer fails to appear.
