Our next club trip is on Sunday 3rd March, details below. Please let us know if you want to come, do not just turn up on the day!
Leaders: Martin Janes, Andrew Bennett
The Plan
Meet at VIKING CLUBHOUSE at 10 am to unload, then take transport over to the finish at Gt Barford, then back to the clubhouse, to be on the water for 11 am. The paddle will take about 4 hrs but depends on stops, weather and cake at Danish camp.
There is a rowing race on the top river so we cannot set off from the club. -> CANCELLED
The paddle is open to all craft and to any VKC members who have completed Discover and the winter paddling course.
U18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult (on the water at all times) and by pre-arrangement.
You also must wear the right clothing for winter paddling, and bring your lights, just in case…please bring food and warm drinks for the trip, along with extra warm clothing.
IMPORTANT
There is no trailer so you will need to transport your own kit to the start and finish. For those who want to borrow club kit, this can be collected Sunday morning from the boathouse.
If you can’t transport your boat back from Great Barford then please contact either Martin or Andrew in advance.
Spaces are limited so please let us know if you would like to take part.
You can comment on the Facebook post:
Please bear in mind that if the weather shuts in or the river conditions mean we can’t portage or we feel it’s too risky, we will cancel the trip and rearrange. Look forward to seeing you out on the water.
If you are an ‘ad-hoc’ paddler, ie not currently a VKC paid member, and would like to join, please let me know.
Any questions, you can ask Andrew and Martin directly on the Facebook group post or in person at the club.
