    “Peer Paddle” means any paddle sport activity promoted by members via the club’s website, its email facility or any other Club media. It is not a Club Activity or Club Paddle. This means there is no Club appointed leader, and each paddler is responsible for themselves, and their fellow paddlers.

    The Club is very pleased to confirm that the Dave Kohn-Hollins has been secured to deliver the BC White Water Safety and Rescue Training on 3rd and 4th June. This is a fantastic opportunity to get WW rescue training with fellow club members.

    This course is recommend for WW paddlers, it will teach you how to use safety gear, how to rescue and how to be rescued.

    It is also requirement to those who are obtaining their WW Leader qualification.

    The content of the course follows the British Canoeing WWSR Syllabus, but he will shape the course to the aims and needs of the group, focusing more time and attention on the areas that your group members would like to concentrate on, and less time on areas where they already feel confident.

    Attendees must come fully kitted for two days intensive training with lots of paddling, a lot of swimming in cold water, and a lot of fun. All normal WW equipment needed, and Dave will advise additional safety equipment that will be needed, prior to the event. 

    It is recommended you bring your own boat and paddle or they can be hired from the Club. Usual Club hire process applies.

    The course fee is £180 per person. The Club has agreed to cover 50% of the course fee for club members who commit to supporting Leaders on trips with additional rescue cover ( once you feel you can). As such the course fee is £90 per person.

    This aligns to the Club's Reimbursement Policy, where the Club reserves the right to ask for the difference from attendees if there is no ongoing commitment to the Club - you will appreciate funds are limited and they need to stretch to ensuring maximum paddling opportunities for our members in the future.

    If you would rather not commit to the club and would like to self fund all of the course fees then there is an option to do this.

    The fee is required at time of booking. If you need to later cancel then every opportunity will be made by the Club to 'sell on' your course place, however if it is no sold on then with regret the Club is not able to offer any refunds. This mirrors the policy of the Course Provider. Refunds will be offered in the event the Club needs to cancel the course.

    Please add yourself to the waiting list if all 6 places are taken.

    Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact Ian Martin on ianmartinscc@gmail.com or Grant McKelvie on secretary@shrewsburycanoeclub.org or 07837 963160.

    • Tal y Bont on Usk
    After success of my last Usk trip...

    Matt will be running another lead WW day trip to the Usk (just beyond Brecon) starting/meeting at Tal Y Bont - On - Usk, paddling about 12km through some stunning white water and scenery to Crickhowell. This section of river is grade 3 im expecting it to be low but paddleable. A decision closer to the time will be made whether to paddle the Usk or the Wye nearby if it is too high.
    This paddle is excellent as it slowly increases from flat (grd 2) to some natural weir drops and more longer rapids (grd 3) then decreases slowly in grade to Crickhowell.
    This trip is aimed at paddlers who have good grade 2 paddling skills, has experienced some grade 3 environment and has experienced a capsize and knows what too do in fast flow as a minimum.
    I am offering this as a limited lead trip and peer paddle separate to the lead group, lead places will increase with leaders agreeing to help out.
    Must take as a minimum; Suitable white water kayak (No playboats). Paddle, BA, Helmet, Spray deck, Throwline, Cag/Wetsuit as a minimum, Suitable footwear, Food/Drink and Whistle. All can be hired from the container.Please get in touch if you have any queries about this trip.
    Happy paddling, Matt 07549528735

     The 4 Ds are having another placid paddle down the very beautiful and scenic Wye . This trip is going through the windy beautiful farmland. The trip is a mere 19.7km ( the guidebook quote) so will be a full day trip.

    Anyone who can paddle in a straight line who has been on some Monday nights and or other nights and any craft ( pause maybe a tad far for the coracle  ). This is in essence a gentle placid paddle with one area that may have  a very small rapid ( which we can walk down ) or a pile of rocks to wander around depending on water levels.

    Historically of note Monnington falls was the main obstacle to river trade, that was originally a 8 foot stone weir which was removed and demolished to allow barges to go up and down river. ( made by Owain Glyndwr back in the day). Other excitement is you can see Offas dyke ( just) and the Bridge Sollar's a Scandinavian bridge one of only a few built in this country. Plus this area is known for its natural wild life, think herons, kingfishers, fish and other excitement like possible otters, i know calm down. 

    You will need :

    • As one  grade two  section a helmet ( BC rules) f you don't want to paddle, line or play on this you can easily portage. (see grade definitions below or ask a D if unsure ) 
    • A craft , BA plus all the tack that goes with the craft i.e leash, spray deck or pump, painters etc.
    • a personal first aid kit,
    • breakfast , lunch snacks, second lunch ( ok food and drink), nb enough drink for the day think heat and at least 1.5 litres of fluid. 
    • A sense of humour and sun tan lotion, Hat  for sun if you have a bald spot, and if you feel the need something to sit on for all the lunch stops. 
    • spare clothing are always a good plan think towel. 

    Those that want there are a number of camp sites of which we are setting of from one so you can also if you would like camp the night before. those who want to camp let me know if keen as its a bit of a faff to organise otherwise. 

    please any questions to davidjcoan@hotmail.com. 

    n.b  Karen Darby is coming as a 4th D 

    Grade 1 means the water is moving, without rocks or other hazards to avoid, and without technical difficulties. Basically it means paddling it should be within most people's abilities. It's the 'easiest' river you can paddle and great for practicing on moving water if you've never paddled on it before.

    Grade 2 rivers are the next step up from Grade 1. They can include waves and small stoppers which should be easy to navigate. They can also include eddies where you can catch your breath.
