Trip running from Cunningsburgh, meet at the South Fladdabister Junction 6.45pm. We will then be going from there to the put in point. This is a trip where a shuttle is needed. We will be coming out at Quarff.
Please let Angus known if you’re coming. If you don’t there might not be a boat for you.
PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE AND THE FORUM BEFORE SETTING OFF FOR ANY CHANGES AS WE ARE STILL TRYING TO SORT OUT THE TRAILER.
We all want trips to happen, be well run and enjoyable. However, it’s a lot of work for one person to take on, especially when they don’t always need to.
Every trip needs a trip leader, but it doesn’t mean the leader needs to organise it all. Often they have all their own boats and gear, so everything about organising the preferred boats/ paddles/ spraydecks/ buoyancy aids and assorted kit onto trailers, arranging lifts and so on is really being done for you at a the cost of the trip leader’s time.
You can help. You don’t need to be 4* to start organising a trip, you just need to have an idea for a paddle you’d like to do and be prepared to put a little of your own time in to make it happen.
If you’re interested let one of the Committee know.
The other thing about trips – it depends on the weather and who’s available. Use the forum to keep up with possible trips, make suggestions for locations, get involved.
Talking with a few folks, we’re looking at a ‘tidy up’ session this week at Bridge End. Even if it’s a beautiful evening we’re going to try and get everyone to the point of 1* certification, though it won’t stop us doing some paddling if conditions are good.
Additional details on the Forum
There isn’t training tonight at Bridge End, there will be a trip from Quarff instead. If you want to come you have to let Chris/ Angus know as there is a limit to the numbers of boats available.
