1. NEXT TRIP INFORMATION/JOINING INSTRUCTIONS

Please note that you MUST contact the Organiser to let them know you will be attending any of these events/paddles.  

 

Date to be determined  (please check later for updates)- River Wey from Godalming

Organiser: Martin Dunn email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (preferred) or mobile 07714329271. Please advise if attending.

 

This is planned to be an out and back paddle on the canal from Godalming launching just above the limits of the navigation. 

At this time we are unable to confirm when this trip will occur as there are A3 closures and likely traffic congestion affecting people travelling to Godalming from the north over the weekend of the 16th February. There is then a full weekend closure of the M25 Junction 10 (A3) slip roads the following week, causing similar if not worse travel congestion.

 

 

Please note the safety policy (see elsewhere in article) and the following information:

You must inform the run leader in advance if you are planning to attend a paddle or event. 

Remember to bring your Club membership cards to all club paddles or events, since we are required to check and record memberships are current.  We also need to record Paddle UK numbers for those who have them. These are needed to ensure that we are covered by the Club's and Paddle UK's insurance.

All participants in club trips or meets do so at their own risk, and neither the Club nor its officers can accept any liability for loss or injury of any kind sustained whilst on a Club trip, meet or other activity.

As a section of the Camping and Caravanning Club, our camping events are restricted to Camping and Caravanning Club members only (including Canoe Camping Club members), anyone participating must be a member of the Camping and Caravanning Club before attending a camping meet. We do allow guest paddlers on most day trips.

  

2. CCC SAFETY POLICY (SUMMARY)

The Safety Policy can be viewed using the main menu of this website. Key points of the Safety Policy are summarised below.

  • Please ensure you and your watercraft, are appropriate for the trip and properly equipped.

  • A briefing will normally precede the trip/event.  

  • A competent adult must accompany young people aged between 8 and 18 years who must have the parents signed permission to paddle (a form is supplied).

Paddlesports are ‘assumed risk’ ‘water contact’ activities, however serious accidents are very rare. Participants should be aware of and accept these risks, and be responsible for their own action and involvement.
