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

Sunday 25 July saw the annual Ness Marathon take place. The event is one of four in the Highland Marathon Series as is organised by Inverness Canoe Club's Steve Mackinnon in association with the SCA.

After a week of heavy rain, the sun came out and made it a fantastic day for all involved. Club members, as well as folk from further afield (incl. Kirkcady, Linlithgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen), swarmed to Inverness to take part.

Such was the enthusiasm, that new records were set in a number of catogories:

Long Course K1 Male (and overall course record) - Colin McMorrin (Kirckcady CC)
Long Course K1 Junior Male - Jack Brickell (Forth CC)
Long Course Tandem Open Canoe - Lucas Chapman\Neil Fraser (Inverness CC)
Short Course K1 Female - Mags Duncan (Inverness CC)
Short Course K1 Junior Male - Ruaraidh Stirling (Inverness CC)
Short Course K1 Junior female - Talitha Jane White (Whitewave Activities)
Short Course K2 - John Ross\Campbell Ross (East Sutherland CC)
Short Course Solo Open Canoe - Jonathan Skinner (Inverness CC)

Many thanks, as ever, go to Steve Mackinnon for organising the event and making it such a success.
