Beginners white water trip Sunday 11th November. Trip will be suitable for all paddlers of two star ability. Meet at club 8.30am to select boats and arrange transport. There is quite a bit of rain in the forecast over the next few days so river levels should be good, however if conditions are not suitable the trip may be cancelled at short notice. Remember although air temperatures are high for the time of year if you take a swim you will get cold quickly. Good paddling kit is essential. Bring a hot drink and snacks.
Currently planning to run the lower Tiegn from Fingle Bridge to Steps Bridge.
Please reply to this post if interested. I will answer any questions here or I can be contacted on 07887 802810.

    Looking good for tomorrow. River is dropping but showers forecast so should hold at a good level.
    Meet at club 8.30am as original post. For those going direct to Fingle Bridge 9.30am at Fingle. I plan to leave cars with dry kit in at Steps Bridge on our way to Fingle and shuttle after the paddle. This means if you are going direct to Fingle you will have to make arrangements to get your dry kit to the finish or carry with you.
    See everyone in the morning. Mike

    Hi

    I was walking along the River Teign below Fingle Bridge yesterday and took some pics of (I think) your members going over the weir. One of the members said the club is situated on the quays at Exeter. I assume I am emailing the right club?

    I wondered if you and the club might like to have the pics? If so, here’s a link. They’ll be available on my one drive for no more than a month. If the pics are of your club members please feel free to use them as you and the people in the pics wish. Should you or your publicity people wish for larger sized image files, please feel free to contact me further.

    Kind regards

    One of the open boaters on the river lost a drybag, did anyone pick it up in error?

    Damn! I was pleased to see that Matt did not photograph my embarrassing swim, and then a member of the public catches me going over!
