Annual Spring Clean 2010.

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

He these are the heavies.

We need to have a clear out of non active members cause we have folks who want join, and we have reached our limit of 35 members.

But of the 35 members we have about 12 who are constantly out paddling and active.

Now i know many of you have reasons and have tried to hook up and thats fine. but all we ask is a realistic idea of weather or not you will be out again.

If the answer is yes post up on the forum (topic will be up soon) and we will stick you down.

If not just either let us know on the forum or privately .

And lets hope we get some water soon even for a few days, between sun.

Corsica 2010

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Hi all;
This year a few of the head from the club are heading over to Corsica to paddle in warm weather in april on some of the most beautiful rivers in europe.
Although we will be hitting some of the steeper stuff, all are welcome to tag along and paddle other runs or with us or others if they are up to it.
This is not a club trip but just to let folk know that it is possible to head over chill out with lots of boaters from all over europe and get some cruising boatin done or just hang out drink wine and eat sanglier (wild boar).
Total cost driving and campin about €400 all in, ferrys,fuel,food,accom,beer the lot.
Topic up soon on forum.

Update;

Long overdue but we had a blast over there and there were a lot of easy rivers but we had fun hitting the harder stuff which was to be fair ,hard.

Each river was different and had their own style, but overall the top end of the scale thye involved a lot of scouting so they took much more time. But next year we will know em and fly down like the locals.

The campsite was sweet and cheap and so was the food for the most part. And the weather was good but nights were freezing literally.

But next year a road trip to see more rivers is on the cards in the mean time enjoy the pics.
