This is part of our Introduction to Moving Water series of events, following on from the successful (sunny) trip to Shepperton Weir. There will be plenty of coaching available for those new to moving water!
It is easy to get on anywhere on the course and build up to running the whole thing, or you could just stay where you feel comfortable to practise your skills.
Meet at the club at 12:00pm
The course is open from 2.30pm to 6.00pm
If we leave there at 6.00pm, we should be back at the club for 8.00pm
