I have been informed that the Mole has been in flood and was considered too dangerous to paddle over the weekend by Noel Humphrey, the acsess officer. However, if there is not too much rain during the week it could be ok again by next Sunday. I will have a look at it on Saturday and will post on here whether the trip will be on or not so please check again on Saturday afternoon.

Will all paddlers with a key to the boat sheds, both racers and general-purpose, please re-lock the padlocks when out on the water, rather than relying on the electronic locks?  While the electronic locks are good, we've had a number of people hanging around and trying the doors occasionally, and the padlocks are far more secure.  Particularly if there is a power cut, as happened last month, when the boat shed door drifted open as one member had relied on the electric lock ...

Thanks!

In the summer of 2012, Dave Wise spent six weeks camped in the Medway Estuary, on Darnet Island.  Maybe you saw him as he paddled past, exploring the inner and outer estuary and foraging for food.  Maybe you met him on one of the guided Medway Canoe Trails he ran last year.

He's crafted a book and made a film about this most unusual canoe expedition, right in our back yard, illustrated with hand-drawn maps and images taken with a pinhole camera Dave made from driftwood.  It looks like an extraordinary tale.

See Dave's website here for more information, to order the book and to see the film.  It's well worth a look.

There will be a series of rowing races on Sunday 3rd March between King's School boathouse up to Maidstone, all morning. We will therefore paddle away from the club, most likely Yalding. Meet at the club normal time and we will get as many boats up to Yalding as possible.
