A big thank you to all that attended and made this event possible, especially our friends at Dee sailing Club who have fabulous facilities and are the friendliest hosts of the event each year. We had 24 club volunteers, helpers and safety kayaks out and about on the day and without whom, the event would simply not be possible. Gary Edwards was my hero of the day spending nearly 6… Read More »Hilbre Sea Kayak Event Results and Photos 2022

Improvers WW Trip on the River Dee by Chris Marsden I’d advertised earlier in the week that I was offering a beginners or improvers trip on the Dee this Sunday. I was surprised that there was no take-up from white-water beginners for the trip. I hadn’t realised it clashed with the Hilbre island race. Must check calendar next time. I had interest from improvers, rusty and more advanced paddlers so… Read More »Improvers WW Trip on the River Dee by Chris Marsden

Holy Island by JG Holy Island. HW Liverpool 12:15 @ 9.1m This was the one I have had on the bucket list for a while, and it didn’t disappoint. Departing Porth Dafarch at 0930 gave us plenty of time to get to Stanley Embankment. The trip to Rhoscolyn head was swifter than we expected as we were leaving in the dying flood, but picking up the eddie had us ticking… Read More »Circumnavigation of Holy Island by JG

Ullswater SUP two-day trip by John Fay We set off from the south of the lake with loaded SUP’s with a strong wind against us. After two hours we arrived at the campsite. The camp was set up after which we got back onto the lake to battle with the wind now in our faces.

Alps boot camp weekend by John Cooke Well, we certainly had the weather, scorchio! The weekend began with Harry and myself meeting up on Friday to do a lap of the lower section, nice run down before going to the campsite. People started arriving from late afternoon and we sat around drinking and putting the world to rights. Saturday saw others joining us and everyone did the lower section. We… Read More »Alps boot camp weekend by John Cooke

Llandudno to Puffin Island 10th July by Chris Bolton I’d been a club member for 18 months, but due to being disorganised (and the pandemic) I’d never actually done any trips. Keith’s email on Friday asked if anyone was interested in a paddle on Sunday, 2-3 hours to an island, and that was my chance. It turned out to be two islands, a big one that we landed on (Anglesey/Môn)… Read More »Llandudno to Puffin Island 10th July by Chris Bolton

Junior Club Weekend 1st-3rd July based at Anglesey Outdoors by Mandy Smith We attended the Junior Kayaking Weekend on Friday 1st July 2022. This was our first time away with Liverpool Canoe Club, so we were not too sure what to expect. The activities were planned with precision, including all of the health and safety aspects which were clearly explained. So much was packed into the weekend that our 10-year-old… Read More »Junior Club Weekend 1st-3rd July based at Anglesey Outdoors by Mandy Smith
