Please be aware that the water temperature as well as the outside temperature has now dropped considerably and as such anyone wishing to paddle must ensure they have appropriate clothing.

Unfortunately we may have to turn anyone away who does not have the appropriate clothing.

Morning river taster session:

Anyone who has not paddled with the club before MUST complete a taster session before joining regular sessions, this allows us to assess any new members and run over club safety procedure’s etc. Taster sessions can also be booked on the website .
