Place

& Barle Weekend- 3rd,4th,5th October
This
is a nice introduction to whitewater, and is grade 2. It is suitable for 2* standard
paddlers and above, providing they are happy paddling a long way. The Exe in particular
is 11 miles, and weaker paddlers may find this a struggle. Prior whitewater experience
is not required. If you are in any doubt, please do contact me. In addition, South
Avon insists that paddlers are over 14. As a club, we insist that children under
18 are accompanied by a parent or guardian.
We
camp at the Exe Valley Caravan site. Details of this are found:-
http://www.sacc.co.uk/html/canoe_camp.html You
have the choice of either travelling up Friday night and staying the Friday and
the Saturday, or arriving for 9am for the briefing at the Exe Valley Caravan site
on the Saturday morning. The
site has a pub which serves drink and food. Costs
are as follows:- Tents
£5.50 per person, per night
Entrance fee £3.00 per paddler If
you wish to come, please tot up the total cost, and send a cheque to me, made
payable to Richard Hampson. I will be paying South Avon personally. Write the
names of the people coming, which nights you are staying, an emergency contact
number, and the number of cars you will be bringing on the back of the cheque.
If you have any medical conditions, please make this known as well. Please
email me and I will give you the address to send the cheque, or just hand it to
me personally on a Thursday night. The
deadline for this is 25th September, as I will be sending off the booking form
then. Introduction

will be running the Dart Loop (or similar) on the following dates:- 8-9
November
24-25 January
14-15 March Each
trip has 12 spaces. These
trip are at an introductory level, so prior experience of whitewater is not a
necessity. Paddlers should be paddling at around 3* skill level though. Please
talk to me if you have any questions about suitability. Rivers selected will be
mainly Grade 2, with a little bit of 3. Persons
under 18 must be accompanied by a parent of guardian. Accommodation
will cost £9 per trip. We
will meet at the Newbridge car park at 9.30 am on the Saturday for each trip.
Ask me if you need directions. You
will need a packed lunch for both days. We
will stay at the Fox Tor Cafe in Princetown. To
secure a place on one of the trips, you need to give me your name, mobile number,
next of kin number and £9. This charge is completely non-refundable if you
subsequently are unable to attend.
