(Placid water / Grade 1!)
Sunday 14th March 2010
Meet at the club - need to have boats/kit loaded and ready to leave at 9.00 am
Paddlers need to be comfortable paddling at the Wye trip sort of distance. Paddlers will also need to have warm kit as the weather is still bloomin’ cold!
Spaces are NOT limited, but if you wish to come along , please let me know in advance to help me put you in touch with others to arrange car shares.
Please inform me (in confidence) of any relevant medical condition you may have before commencing the River Trip e-mail me on leatham@tesco.net
Access Point - Bridge on Phoenix Causeway A2029 on water by 9.40 am
(link to map showing bridge  #mce_temp_url#)
Directions - Go around Lewes on the by-pass, through the A26 Cuilfail Tunnel, turn immediately left at the roundabout on the Phoenix Causeway A2029 and then first left again (before river) and this leads to a car park by the Health Centre. Drive through this car park to the Health Centre/Doctors Surgery where it’s usually quieter to park on a Sunday.
We shall paddle upstream with the incoming tide, taking the main route to the right of the island, stop at the weir for playing and lunch break and come back when the tide turns. Depending on how cold it is we may come back via the scenic paddle! ( i.e. to return around the other side of the island!).
I believe there may be a Pub in Lewes that we MAY end up in for hot food, drinks and a chat afterwards!!!!
