Latest News WASHBURN TRIP 20th/22nd October 2017 Details By Niki Norman Sorry for the late notice, but I have just noticed that the Washburn is running on Sunday 22nd October. This is a great little, grade 2/3, dam-release river in North Yorkshire. This could be combined with a trip on the Saturday on the Tees (section dependent on the group, but could be the section from High Force to Low Force - grade 4 or from Barnard Castle to Winston Bridge - grade 3) or perhaps a run on the Wharfe (grade 2/3/4). Incidentally, it's only about an hour and a half to the River Kent from this area. If it doesn't rain at all, there is a whitewater course at the Tees Barrage. It runs from 10am to 5pm and I think it is only £8.75 for the day. It has a travelator and you could use a playboat all weekend then. Please let me know, by email, if you are interested. I need to know as soon as possible so that I can book a bunk house. niki@maidstonecanoeclub.net Prev Next
