Carog to Eisteddfod, Llangollen in Opens by Sue L Mike A kindly offered to transport the canoes so we all met at the compound to help load the canoes on his canoe trailer. I say ‘help’; I’m not sure what help I was but I’m good at collecting paddles. After some rearrangements of kit, we set off in 2 cars to the get-out at Eisteddfod in Llangollen where we met… Read More »Carog to Eisteddfod, Llangollen in Opens by Sue L
2025 02 08 WW Progression Paddle on the River Dee Although the rivers were a little low the Dee always has water so we confirmed early to all those who had booked on before the event closed.

Sunday Icebreaker Paddle 12th January by Colin Lowndes We paddled out from Coburg Wharf through clear water, but ice was starting to encroach through Wapping Dock, and it wasn’t even possible to get to the polo area in Dukes Dock. At Salthouse, techniques were developed for breaking through unbroken ice, and to travel as a safe group in a narrow channel. By the time we reached Albert Dock, our confidence… Read More »Sunday Icebreaker Paddle 12th January
