E-mail Print
There are still places for a fantastic weekend of open canoeing on both Loch and the River Tay...

Weekend of 27/28 February 2010.

We plan to....
  • Go exploring on Loch Tay
  • Teach/practice poling
  • Demo some sailing rigs and go sailing
  • Tour round the crannog
  • Take a leisurely decent of the River Tay - Kenmore to Grandtully!
  • Practice some tracking and lining skills
  • Explore a fantastic canoeing river (with no fishermen around)
  • And play canoe games down Grandtully (for those who fancy a challenge)
If you fancy it, or what more information, please contact Donald MacPherson as soon as possible.

There are currently spare seats in cars and on the canoe trailer for transporting canoes down there for you.

Accommodation is available too, with breakfast, and we will be hiring some poles and sails to use as a group.

The weekend will cost you only £25pp.

Newsflash

We will once again be running an Introduction to Kayaking course this Spring, on Wednesday and Friday evenings from the 7th April to th 30th April 2010.

The course is aimed at beginners who want to learn basic kayaking skills and be able to join club trips - river or sea.  Those who wish can also undertake an assessment for their BCU/UKCC One Star Award after the course (and completing the 4 journeys you need for this award). 

The course will start on the 7th April and run for 4 weeks, training sessions will be held on Wednesday and Friday evenings.  The cost of the course is £60 (which includes boat/equipment hire).

There are a limited number of space offered on a first come first served basis.  All participants must be members of the club.  A minimum age of 16 is required for participants.
