Numbers are limited and you should notify your interest for any trip to the trip leader at least 1 week in advance. Please note\, the logistics of transporting kayaks mean that it will be necessary for you to have access to a vehicle with roof bars and / or be prepared to car share. \nLead: \nAlan Rollo \n07775 827 981

SUMMARY:Fun at the Falls
DESCRIPTION:The Falls of Lora is an iconic location and one of the best fun play spots for sea kayakers! This will be a supported session for sea kayakers introducing the fun of the Falls of Lora on a gentle ebb tide\, and with some coaching and tips to help progress moving water skills in a sea kayak in a very safe location. Priority will be given to folk who have previously been on an “Introduction to Moving Water” course at Pinkston (or equivalent experience) and especially those who have attended the “Tide Race Trainer” sessions on 16th\, 23rd and 30th May. \nIn addition to lunch (essential!!) – helmets are needed (but can be borrowed from the club if you don’t have your own). Sea kayaks and paddles can of course also be borrowed. \nFish and chips / cake and coffee at the Real Food Cafe in Tyndrum on the way back is also an option for a post paddle refuel.

SUMMARY:Another tango with Islay
DESCRIPTION:Not to be defeated the plan is to have one more bash at Islay.      The plan would be to make camp over two nights and use one of the days to climb Beinn Bheigier\, Islay’s highest hill starting at Claggain Bay.  Whilst this trip has been planned on neap tide\, there is tidal flow in this area\, and for that reason this has been noted as a C trip. \nDue to limited ferry places and available camp sites numbers for this trip will be limited.   If you are interested get in quick – spaces will be allocated on a first come\, first served basis. \nTrip will be co-lead by Richard and Leigh. \n

SUMMARY:The Tide Race Trainer!
DESCRIPTION:This is the final week of our three week development programme. \nAimed (but not exclusively!) at sea kayakers with ambitions of paddling in more adventurous waters\, this is a three week course taking advantage of the flow at Pinkston to build and develop the basics needed for paddling in moving water\, and culminating with a trip to the Falls of Lora on a gentle ebb tide (8th June). The usual Pinkston fee (£10 per night) will apply to the Pinkston sessions. Paddlers will be familiar with being rescued after a capsize. \nAt Pinkston\, we will use the club white water boats\, and will transfer the skills we’ve gained into our sea kayaks for the Falls of Lora trip. \nNumbers will be limited\, so don’t delay securing your place! And feel free to get in touch to ask any questions!

SUMMARY:The Tide Race Trainer!
DESCRIPTION:Aimed (but not exclusively!) at sea kayakers with ambitions of paddling in more adventurous waters\, this is a three week course taking advantage of the flow at Pinkston to build and develop the basics needed for paddling in moving water\, and culminating with a trip to the Falls of Lora on a gentle ebb tide (8th June). The usual Pinkston fee (£10 per night) will apply to the Pinkston sessions. Paddlers will be familiar with being rescued after a capsize. \nAt Pinkston\, we will use the club white water boats\, and will transfer the skills we’ve gained into our sea kayaks for the Falls of Lora trip. \nNumbers will be limited\, so don’t delay securing your place! And feel free to get in touch to ask any questions!

SUMMARY:Pinkston Big Spring Splash
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nSpring social event at Pinkston which should not be missed.    There will be lots of water activities\, BBQ\, drinks\, and plenty of chat.    This is a great opportunity to mess about in different crafts (SUPs\, Canoes\, Kayaks\, and Sea Kayaks) both on the flat water basin and also on the white water course.      There will be various coaches to give you lots of helpful tips and also a tandem kayak.      Not to mention the ducks are back !!! \nOh and you definitely don’t want to turn up without an inflatable of your choice.   It is quite possible you might have too much fun and not want to come off the course.  😉

SUMMARY:Pool Session
DESCRIPTION:DCKC Pool sessions \nOur swimming pool sessions happen at Clydebank Swimming Pool [ Google maps link ] every Tuesday evening from September to the end of April.  Generally these are informal sessions which offer the opportunity to practise techniques and get used to being in a kayak.  With the benefit of being in warm/heated water\, it’s the perfect opportunity to practise support strokes\, capsize procedures\, kayak rolling\, balance exercises\, and even just getting in and out of a kayak. \nPool session times \n7.30 to 9pm.** \nWhat to bring:-\nA towel\nSwimming costume\nThin thermal or t-shirt\nSwimming googles\nFee for swimming pool\nOptional (you can also bring if you wish – there is no requirement to bring these)\nNeoprene Spray-deck\nYour own paddle\n\nWhat we provide\nKayaks (general purpose plastic & kayak polo style)\nPaddles\nNylon Spray-decks\n\nNOTES: \n– This is a community even run by volunteers.  Please come along expecting to help manoeuvring kayaks and equipment in and out of the pool and into storage.  If you are unsure how to help please ask someone   \n– When you arrive at the pool there is no need to pay at the front desk – please continue through the changing area\, get changed and payment can be made in cash at the poolside.  The pool session prices are shown here. \n– In the kayak store on the far bank of the pool\, the kayaks should be emptied of water and must be stored nose down (drain bung upwards) so that any remaining/residual water does not run out onto the store floor.   \n– If the pool is busy (more people than boats) we may split the session in 2 or just ask people to work in pairs.\n\n**Unfortunately COVID impacts at the Leisure Centre mean we are not back to our regular 2 hour sessions but rather have a 90 minutes session.
