July weekend camp at the Unicorn Inn at Hampton Loade, Chelmarsh, Nr Bridgnorth, (Chelmarsh side of the river)!
You must have booked in with Jonathon by the end of Wednesday so he can plan equipment.
Campsite details
The campsite is in a field by the riverside, with two access points to the river at either side of our camp area. The camp area will be taped off to other campers from Thursday onwards. Simply arrive, park up and book in, If you speak to the bar staff, they will book you in and Jonathon will collect payment later. Access to the campsite is via an electronic barrier, you will be given a swipe card or token to open the barrier, (it stays open for just 30 seconds, so it may be prudent to have someone outside to operate the barrier, should you be towing a trailer etc.
For directions, please use postcode reference: Bridgnorth WV166BN
Remember to be at PRSC at 18:45 on Thursday for boat loading.
We will be having a session at Symonds Yat East this coming Sunday. You will need to be ready to be on the water for 2pm so I suggest you get there for 1:30 pm. The car park is likely to be busy so you have to be patient to find a space.
The paddle is not suitable for beginners but you will know if you have enough experience. It’s a great place to park and play and try moving water, breaking out and in and running mild rapids so it’s worth the journey.
If you have any further questions then contact Liz or Ed for more details.
You will need £3 for the car park per £1 per boat as a launch fee.
Go down the M50 and A40 and follow the signs to Symonds Yat east !!
This trip is well worth the effort. Symonds Yat East Map:

Please note that the forthcoming junior course is nearly full but there are a few places left.
Follow the link courses for all the contact details.
It’s no wonder we are all feeling tired after our 4 hour paddle today. Well done to all as on Google maps it works out to be 7.4 miles or 11.9 kilometres in new money.
It’s a long winding paddle with quite a few interesting corners and tricky flows to negotiate all to keep us on our toes.
Thanks to Paul for organising, Wendy for leading and very well done to Ross who managed the whole journey unaided.
