UPDATE: Beginners Whitewater trip Sunday 10th November

edited November 2019 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours
Conditions allowing there will be a trip suitable for beginners, although more experienced paddlers are welcome to come along and to assist. The destination will be decided nearer the time. As usual we will be meeting at the club for 8.30.

Please post below if you would like to join or have any questions.

Hoping to paddle the river Barle, from Tarr Steps to Dulverton but does depend on how much it rains tomorrow, so is open to change. It is a longer journey and a reasonably long paddle so unlikely to be back until late afternoon. With that in mind it would be good if we can aim to leave the club for 8.30.
See you on Sunday.

    We will see you at Tarr steps at about 9:30. Unless we hear different.

    Will & Susan.

    We will stop and get changed in Dulverton and leave shuttle vehicles there, so will be sometime after 9.30 before we get to Tarr Steps I expect. Great place to go for a run 😊

    I guess, not got out in Dulverton before. Would work well for transport if you do drop your boat off and come down to Dulverton but up to you

    Quite a long paddle but all down hill 😊

    Hello! I'm keen to come along on this!

    First time doing whitewater, what should I be wearing? Would a long john and single layer dry cag be enough? Have dry cag trousers as well.

  • Nigel_SharpeNigel_Sharpe

    Hi Martin,
    By "long john" do you mean a long john wetsuit? A dry cag and dry trousers would be ideal, and perhaps fleece top under the dry cag. It is due to be a cold day, and the river is cold. Bring what you have, and if you do not need it, you can either leave it in the car, or we can carry it in dry bags.

    I will have a bit of spare dry clothing with me, including a dry suit...

  • MartinSMartinS

    Thank you Nigel. I'll bring what I have.
