Trips Summary

The Club is run by volunteers for us to enjoy paddling. We welcome all members making proposals about where to paddle and organising accommodation, kayaks on roof racks, and supporting a suitably qualified (sea) leader to run the paddle on the water. Please refer to the trip grading system.  If in doubt please contact the trip leader to check your skills, and assumptions/expectations about the trip, and then as appropriate confirm your place on a trip.
