Early warning! Going Outside.

Just a quick reminder that we move to Loch Lomond for the first Tuesday of May, leaving the warmth of the pool for the great outdoors. The sessions are still suitable for all, from absolute beginner to experts. More info on the calendar…. but please remember-

– we meet at the club outdoor container – not the pool container! : Club Locations
– you are likely to be able to choose whether to paddle canoe, kayak or sea kayak, although this may depend on your own abilities, the group sizes on the night and the weather conditions. There is always somewhere suitable (except for tropical lightning storms! )
– although the club has a small trailer that can take up to 4 canoes and 6 kayaks, cars with roof racks will be needed to transport all the boats needed.
– later on in the year we may venture to the River Clyde, Lake of Menteith, Loch Ard, a gorge walk or more. Dates will be published in the newsletter and modified on the club calendar
– The club has wetsuits, cagoules and buoyancy aids, so you will need footwear, a hat if wanted, a change of clothes for your top half and trunks/ swimming costume for under a wetsuit. Feel free to ask one of the club committeee or a more experienced person for advice.
– Although we head off to Loch Lomond at 6.30pm (“ish”) please arrive in time to look out you kit, boat and help tie it on the trailer/roofrack – 6.15pm tends to allow enough time.

We are planning a wide range of things for the summer Tuesday evening sessions: from river trips to British Canoe Union Star Awards, rescue practices to canoe polo games, treasure hunts to gorge walks. If you have something extra you would like us to do please speak to Graham, Sandy, Gregor or any of the committee.
