Hi All,
I current have the following people wishing to go on the trip on Sunday
Scott Flynn
James Pridmore
Kirsty Hallett
Izzy Hallett
Andy Moss
Daniel Milward
Tom Allan - TBC
and of course me.
Can we please meet at 9am, at the place shown, weather dependant we are paddling the Tees. This is not the carpark, as originally suggested as the car park may be a bit small for all the cars. However the carpark is just the other side of the traffic lights, but this gives us the opportunity to gauge how much room we need.
You will need to bring with you:-
Kayak (white water spec, including full plate footrest and airbags)
Spraydeck
Bouyancy Aid
Cag
Helmet
Wetsuit
Paddle
Wet suit boots (old trainers)
Lunch
Hot drink
Change of clothes.
Drybag.
You may also wish to think about bringing other pieces of kit:-
Lets have some ideas on this - post the correct answers next Monday (after the trip)
Please see attached the map of where we are meeting, and a picture of one of the drops in abbey rapids!

Can I bring a hangover?
Or a mobile phone in a waterproof bag?
I had to delete my last comment because I said something wimpish about walking round the rapids... but I'm sure it will be fantastic really!! I have rescued a few trees with my throw line - but not sure I could do anything more useful with it...
Izzy and I need to buy cags. If they don't have any in the right size at Go2H20 we will have to visit the farm.
Post Trip Debrief:
Excellent day, fun had by all. The river was at a good level for the group, although a touch bumpy at the beginning. I think we all benefitted from the paddling, and look forward to seeing the photos, although the one of James' Spaydeck may not be too exciting!
I would again like to thank everyone for making it a great day, and particular thanks to:- Ron(for being a shuttle and photography); Scott, James and Tom for there assitance on the trip - without which the trip would have been much harder to run; and everyone else for the effort they put in......
The next trip has still to be decided, it may be the Tees again, not sure yet if anybody has any preferences please let me know.
The next venue has to be up to the coach! But a later start would help us to take Fiona to her friend's house at a more sociable hour... xx
