LOOKING AHEAD TO 2020!!
JANUARY 2020
Weekend Fri 31 Jan – Mon 03 February. Just announced ! CAP’s Intermediate Whitewater Weekend. Probably in Wales. If enough people are up for this then we’ll run two days (Sat & Sun) of Intermediate paddling Grade 3 – 4 and then on the Monday a smaller group hitting more advanced Grade 4 +
MARCH 2020
Weekend Fri 13 – Sun 15 March. CAP’s Whitewater Weekend on Dartmoor. Just announced ! Two days of Whitewater paddling, open to those just progressing onto Whitewater and others of you with somewhat more experience, an all in CAP weekend. Depending on numbers we may split into differing ability groups or all paddle the same rivers. Subject to water levels yet another of CAP’s usual great fun weekends !
APRIL 2020
EXTENDED TRIP Approx 10 - 18 April date subject to confirmation ! Just Confirmed ! CAP’s Scottish invasion. Och aye the noo , we’re off to the Scottish Highlands. A mixed programme, Grade 4 – 5 for a few, Grade 2/3/4 / Loch paddling etc. Within reason a mixed programme arranged around what YOU want to do!
On some trips we will need to set minimum criteria for paddler’s abilities and numbers may need to be limited! Some of the flatwater trips may not have a qualified coach in attendance and on others the coaches may be acting above their official coaching remit. Safety will however always remain our number one priority but followed by motivation, encouragement, progression and generally having fun!
I do hope that you’ll be impressed with our programme and want to take part in lots of the trips !
We always like to see our established members out on trips but in addition this year we’ve welcomed lots of newcomers, it’s been great to meet them all and we’re hoping to see them continuing their Kayaking with us and building their skills, confidence, competence and indeed their love of CAP ???? !
I look forward to meeting up with you all during our 2019-2020 CAP Years of activity ! Mike
