This is not a club trip but a group of friends, that are paddling together. If you want to do the whole weekend or part of it then it’s up to you. Children are welcome but they must be accompanied by a parent. You will need to contact the campsite yourselves to book and the canoe hire if you need canoes or ask around.

Leaving on the evening of Wednesday 28th October 09 we will be returning to Coventry on Sunday 1st [...]]]> Yes its that time of year again when thoughts start turning to the annual Scotland trip. This year we are back over to the west coast and accommodation has once again been arranged within Loch Awe village hall.

Leaving on the evening of Wednesday 28th October 09 we will be returning to Coventry on Sunday 1st November 09.

The trip will be run at cost of £100 per person. All monies will be pooled to cover the cost of fuel, accommodation and breakfast. This will not cover lunch, evening meals or the enormous amount of beer you will no doubt drink…

There are plenty of rivers in the local area including the Orchy, Etive, Awe, Blackwater, Spean, Roy.

This year the ‘Ridgers’ of all ages intend on scaling the heights of Ben Nevis as well as other extreme trips to take in local history, classic walks and cake shops (NOT FOR THE FEINT HEARTED).

Coming along on the trip is easy, See Gary, Jim or Ian at the pool and have a deposit ready by the 1st October. The remaining balance is to be paid by the 22nd October. If you are willing and able to drive then let Gary know and select your navigator and cake suppliers to accompany you.

Any other questions?? See Gary, Jim or Ian

This is not a club trip. Anyone who attends is welcome to do so as an individual. Kayaking and Ridging are assumed risk activities and whilst every effort will be made to guide individuals your safety cannot always be guaranteed. This is a trip for like minded individuals, by like minded individuals.
