River Mole

Sunday 07 April 2019, 09:00 - 15:00
      

The trip is on the River Mole from Dorking to Fetcham, just past Letherhead, about 10 mls and will take about 3-4 hours with a stop for packed lunch. The flow on the Mole depends on the rainfall prior to the trip but is normally fairly slow. There is a sloping weir just after the start that can normally be shot but is easily portaged if necessary. The river passes by Box Hill and is very scenic in places, there are a few more minor weirs and rapids but in normal conditions the water is not deep and if you do capsize you will be able to stand up (mostly). This is a good river for beginners to white water paddling; there will be plenty of safety cover

Meet at club 8:45 for 9:00 depart or 10:00 at start at Boxhill Road, turn right off Reigate Road onto Old Reigate Road about 1 mile before Dorking then left at end into Boxhill Road and go to end. OS TQ: 1826  5035

I will be checking for water levels on Sat 6th and will post on news page whether trip is a go.

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.
