Slovenia Trip

Download as iCal file
 
From Friday 27 May 2016
To Tuesday 07 June 2016
     

The dates are Friday 27th/Saturday 28th May to Saturday 4th/Sunday 5th June (actual dates depend on departure times and travelling arrangements, still to be confirmed.) This is half term week in most schools.

We will be staying in Bovec and there is one main river called the Soca, and if river levels are high enough, there is also the Koritnica. The Soca has sections of grade 2, 3, 4 and 5, so is suitable for anyone who has paddled some moving water. The Koritnica is a mixture of grade 2 and 3. I think it is probably about the same difficulty as the Dart Loop at a level when the water is lapping the ledge at Newbridge. The water is really is turquoise!

This trip was booked immediately on our return from the Pyrenees, and we have filled our accommodation. However, several people have expressed an interest in joining us, so we are investigating the possibility of booking a second holiday house. 

Please see this article to read more about this trip, and what we got up to last year!

Disclaimer: all our trips are run by club members like you, and unless specifically described otherwise are peer paddles.  If you think that you would benefit from the support of a formal river leader or coach, please contact the trip organiser in advance - we can usually arrange something!  Otherwise you should be confident that your own ability matches the trip as planned.  If your trip is being led by someone - a more experienced paddler, river leader or a coach - it is your responsibility to mention any medical or other issues which may arise during the trip.
