Matt is running a moving water park and play trip to Symonds Yat on the 30th May.

Meeting at the first carpark on the right next to the Wyedean canoe hire place (look for boats adorning the building), at 9am. (spaces are limited so the earlier the better)

car park is before the road narrows into the village. The access to the river is tonnes better than the second carpark (sadly PUK has lost the access rights via the carpark closer) w3w ///brave.lengthen.twists 

Symonds yat is short grade 2 park and play venue where the river is squeezed into a small channel formed by an island in the gorge. There are some nice jets and waves to play on and some eddies to catch.

This would suit anyone starting out on white water, or someone with little experience. You just need strong forward paddling, knowledge of moving water and have done a controlled capsize before. It is a great place to develop skills and just have a lovely day in a lovely place.

Required kit; WW boat, air bags, paddle, spray deck, helmet and buoyancy aid, food/drink, cag and wetsuit as a minimum, drysuits are preferred but not compulsory. Club kit available to hire, just get in touch.

On offer is the club lead option but will be limiting numbers unless other leaders are available and a peer group.
