Dartmoor Weekend

Whitewater improver and intermediate

Member booking available from: 20:00 21st September

Non-member booking (space allowing) from: 9th November 2018

Booking terms (please also see full terms of use [link]):

Booking will be made available to club members from the above date.  If there are free spaces, they will be opened to non-members 3 weeks prior to the trip.

Payment must be made in full within 2 weeks of booking.  If no payment is received, you will be removed from the list.  This is to ensure a level playing field for all and to stop trip space blocking.

Return of monies due to cancellation is at the discretion of the committee and a decision will be made depending on individual circumstance.

Ability level:

We will be paddling Grade 3 rivers on this trip and the trip has been graded whitewater intermediate.  Depending on water levels these may raise to a Grade 4.  If you have any doubt please talk to the lead coach or trip organiser.

Please note that river levels can change dramatically dependent on water levels and therefore it may not always be possible to support a paddler safely on a river in all conditions.  Remember that others may have to support you on the river too.

The lead coach’s decision will take in as many risk factors as possible and will depend on an individual’s ability to take part and recent/known experience.  The coach’s decision is final as to who can/cannot take part.  We support paddler progression but this must sit alongside our responsibility to you and others to have an enjoyable but above all safe paddle.
