Saturday 30th November White Water Open Canoe Trip: UPDATE
White water open canoe trip.
The aim is to spend the day on traditional open canoe skills on white water, skills such as ferry gliding and eddying in and out as well as poling and rope work for those who would like.
We will be out most of the day so you will need to bring lunch and a hot drink. You will also need to where warm clothes with waterproofs and bring a helmet (the club has these to borrow).
Weather is still a bit difficult to call. There is a possibility of heavy rainfall. So current plan is to run the Dart from Buckfast to Staverton. We will meet at the club canoe shed at 08:15 or the lay by off the A38 at 9am. If the weather forecast deteriorates I will post again tomorrow.

I'm in!
And me please.
If I can get transport I would be up for it, sorry for the late notice, only just noticed it!
Will
Currently transport is:
Mike - taking own boat
Susan - boat on trailer
Will - boat on trailer
Cameron - boat on trailer
Brian, Phil there is on space on the trailer and one of you will need to transport your own boat.
Ryan I'm sorry but we don't have any more boat transport at the moment.
I will come to the club to collect a canoe, unless Phil does. Please let me know!
Sorry. Not watching the ball. Um, transport of a boat: I have roof bars but the separation of the bars - about 700mm - makes it a bit iffy for boats of the size and weight of the club open boats. I had quite a struggle getting mine back from just this side of Plymouth when I bought it, and that is about half the weight of the club ones. If it makes it easier I'll duck out and let Brian take the trailer space if you like.
No worries I will collect a boat!
Thanks Brian
Do you want me to drive my car to the venue? If not, happy to contribute to someone's petrol or whatever, and I'll park mine near the club for the day.
Hi Phil
We won't need you to drive to the venue tomorrow. see you in the morning at the club
Will.
