Upcoming Trips

Nene White Water Course

Sunday 5th May 2024 - Paddlers who are new to white water, come and have a play on this friendly white water course. Contact Joe Lo for details.

 

White Water Development in North Wales

10th-12th May 2024 - A weekend for getting your White Water Safety training and qualification. We will be using the Rivers Dee and Tryweryn as our locations, staying in Llangollen as a base. The aim is to award the White Water Safety and Rescue qualification. I have hired in a high level coach, which costs in the region of £120+ certification fees per person, depending on numbers (can get a little cheaper). Get in touch with Joe Lo for details.

​

Upper Wye Tour

24th-27th May 2024 - Wye paddle it? Scenic flowing river with shallow rapids for interest.

The plan is to canoe sections of the Wye over the late May bank holiday weekend, subject to water levels.

As this is a Club trip , Club boats can be used but would need collecting and transported to/from the Barkstore.  Canoe hire is available locally if you don't want to/can't transport one. If you want to kayak, no problem as we plan to do shuttles between campsites/egresses.  This is a family trip so all are welcome. You don't even have to camp or do the complete weekend. To be included in the plans for the trip, please complete the registration form here.
