Hi All,
Just a quick note about this weekends activities:
Saturday 19th we be running whitewater training on the River Calder near Ossett, this session is suitable for most paddlers from beginner upwards. We will concentrate on a short section of the river and will aim to improve basic river paddling skills.
The plan is to meet here: WF5 8NE at 12.30pm.
Anyone wanting to participate MUST contact Andy by Friday evening at the latest here: andy@westyorkshirecanoeclub.com
Please leave contact email address and mobile number in case of any changes. Anyone who needs to borrow boats or kit please specify exactly what you require and we will try to organise.
On Sunday 20th November Mark will run a trip on the River Lune (Lowgill to Killington Bridge). Meet at the Butty Bar, Devils Bridge, Kirby Lonsdale at 9.00am. This is an intermediate trip, where you need to be able to paddle/position your kayak on some harder grade 2/3 sections. The harder sections, such as the strid, can be walked around.
Hope fully we will have a little more success with water levels this time, but will keep our options open and review a little closer to the River Trip.
Note, club coaches may not be present on the river trip but we will ensure there are sufficient competent paddlers for safety.
