Outdoor trips

We organize these on both a formal and an informal basis. Locally we use St Bees beach, Bassenthwaite Lake, Derwentwater and Ennerdale Water regularly.
We usually visit events such as the Tyne Tour (Hexham) each year.
Most years there are trips to Scotland and abroad.

Local trips are held most weekends of the year and sometimes evenings in the summer. Many of these are very weather dependent and are therefore organized at short notice.

A list of activities for the near future is in the diary section of the site. We will state the level of experience needed for the trip when we announce it (often at the pool session preceding).

Most trips start from the Club's garage, situated off Richmond Hill Road, the Hospital end.

Equipment

We can supply some boats/paddles/spraydecks/helmets/bouyancy aids from the club's stock. A fee to help maintain the equipment of £2.50 is requested.
We are not in a position to hire out clothing and other personal items: (we do however have a stock of basic waterproofs suitable for young people) please see whoever is running the trip beforehand to discuss what would be suitable.

We have agreed the following cost guidelines for trips:
Boat / equipment hire: £2.50 per trip.

Fuel etc Individuals travelling together are expected to share the costs, a minimum contibution of £2.00 seems reasonable.

Trailers: If someone is towing a trailer carrying a boat for you (including club boats) you should contribute at least £1.00 to the driver.
PLEASE TRY AND PAY YOUR SHARE OF THE COSTS ON THE DAY. We rely on the goodwill of drivers to enable us to continue to run trips.

Questions

If you have any questions or concerns please speak to us at one of the sessions, or contact us via the message page on the website.
