Trips
As a club, and as individuals, we often organise trips around the UK and abroad to paddle new waters, including placid water and canal paddles, white water river running, surf kayaking, sea kayaking and canoe camping. Most of these are at least partly suitable for beginners and they're great fun and an excellent way to meet other members and make new paddling friends.
