Tonbridge to the club, Peer paddle

 Download as iCal file
 
Sunday 13 August 2023      

I am organising a paddle from Tonbridge back to Maidstone Canoe Club on Sunday August 13th.

Meet at the car park by Tonbridge swimming pool to be Otw at 9.30am. This will be a long trip (of approx 16 miles) and is a peer paddle so you should be a competent paddler and confident in your ability to paddle this distance.There are 7 canoe passes (grades 2 and 3),which can be be portaged if you prefer. I think the paddle will take approx 9 hours so I would anticipate being back at the club before 6pm.

You will need a packed lunch, and sufficient drinks and snacks to sustain you on the trip. A helmet will be needed if you do intend to use the canoe shutes and a good sense of humour is always useful if the going gets tough! 

I'll set up a group whatsapp to share info & sort car shares so please sign up below if you'd like to come.

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.
