Sun 8 Oct 2023 ‘Harder’ White Water Trip

This will now be a trip to Cardiff International White Water Centre. If you’d like to join us, please ‘get tickets’ using the links below by 5pm Tuesday 3 Oct – we’ll then book our paddlers in to the centre ‘en-masse’, to save everyone booking individually (after which you will receive an e-mail from the centre asking you to complete an online medical form and disclaimer). Choose to attend one or both of these sessions (separate tickets needed for each):

• 10:00-12:30 running at 4 cumecs (10:00-11:30) then 6 cumecs (11:30-12:30)
• 13:30-16:00 running at 8 cumecs – suitable only for those paddlers already comfortable on the course at 6 cumecs

This trip is for existing white water paddlers only, if you’re not sure of your suitability please check first with Steve (and/or check out the information at Park & Play (ciww.com)). We will be able to lead and/or coach those who need or want this, others (over 18) may choose to ‘peer paddle’ under their own steam (and under 18s if their parents are also present).

We’ll aim to coordinate transport sharing once we know who’s coming…

This will be the first of our ‘harder’ white water trips this winter – suitable only for experienced white-water paddlers who are comfortable on grade 2(3), preferably able to roll, and ready to move up to something ‘harder’.

The aim is for these trips to be on a variety of grade 3-4 rivers, led by a suitably qualified leader / coach, although we will not be able to confirm locations until a few days beforehand, when we have an idea of expected water levels.

Consequently, participants should be prepared to travel up to 3 hours each way (although we’ll aim for less than this) – and to share lifts and costs.

Numbers will be limited, so if you’d like to join this trip, please RSVP using the button below or drop Steve an e-mail. Club boats will be available for £10 hire as usual, although we anticipate most of our ‘hard’ paddlers having their own boats.
