Calendar in detail - trips


Surfing Day Trip 22nd May Meet at the Clubhouse, 9am Cost £13 Organiser - Howard C

We’re re-instating the surf trip we lost earlier in the year (lack of waves). Let’s hope there are waves this time. As before this trip is not for the feint hearted. A secure roll is essential. People need to be able to look after themselves, so it’s not a trip for be-ginners.

The exact location will be decided on the day but we normally head to North Devon and the sandy beaches of Croyde or Saunton.

Open Canoe Tour: June 10th - 12th

A relaxing meander through the beautiful countryside and camping in the wilderness

This is a self supported trip from Hereford to Lydbrook in open boats. The trip will take three days paddling and three nights camping. We start on Thursday 9th June evening with the drive up to Hereford, have a hearty meal and camp. Paddle Friday to Hoarwithy and camp, then Saturday paddle down to Ross on Wye and camp. Then on to Lydbrook on the Sunday, shuttle and home.

All three days paddling are gentle 4 – 5 hour paddles. The camp sites are family friendly and close to pleasant hostelries with a fine selection of ales, wines and vitals.

Please contact Howard for more information: [email protected]

River Frome 8th May Meet at the Clubhouse, 9am Cost £3

One of our favourite rivers: the Frome. Water permitting we will do the Creamery to Langham Farm.

Same format as usual: change at the clubhouse, leap into cars and go for a paddle! The river has flat bits and vertical bits and there may be some walking bits. This trip is good for open boaters too.

Calendar in detail - trips and club sessions


FRIDAY SESSIONS At Langham Farm 7pm - 9pm Cost £2

These sessions are for adults, but young people can come if their parents bring them and stay to paddle or watch.

People usually ‘do their own thing’, either slalom training, or a gentle paddle up and down stream in a kayak or open boat.

It is an ideal opportunity to take it easy.

Most people bring their own kit but we do have a limited amount of club kit there if you don’t have your own.

River Avon 12th June Meet at the Clubhouse, 8am for course candidates 9am for other paddlers Cost £3 Organiser - Arthur

This is an important trip for paddlers who are attending the Two Star course as it is their assessed journey. It is the part of the Two Star syllabus that requires them to plan, organise a trip and help manage a group of fellow paddlers on the water. Others are welcome on this trip but will need to be prepared for our aspirant Two Star paddlers to ‘take command’. The emphasis will be on having a fun day like we always do, so do come along.

We plan to paddle from Bath to Salt-ford, a great stretch of the River Avon with a couple of weirs and a small play spot at the get out which is by the Jolly Sailor pub.

The two meet times are: 8am for those on the Two Star course (and instructors) so they can prepare for the rest of the paddling mob which needs to be at Market Yard by 9am. We would expect to be back at Mar-ket Yard by 4.30pm at the latest.

Hope to see you there.

WEDNESDAY SESSIONS At Market Yard 7pm - 9pm Cost £2

Sessions are in full swing now. You need to decide what you’re doing out of our vast selection of activities and go for it! Courses/Training/Fun and games/Open boating/Adults only... Young people in the first hour, older people in the second hour.

Langham Farm Slalom continued


Set up the slalom 29th May Meet at Langham Farm 9am

We set up the slalom course, the food tent and other bits and pieces, in readiness for the big event on 4/5th June.

We can get it all done in a morning if we have plenty of help. And it is usually quite light hearted with plenty of tea and cakes about to oil the whole process.

Go directly to site and Andy will give you a job to do! It is not complicated and many hands do make light work.

The Actual Slalom - 4/5th June

Come and compete! This is a good slalom for beginners. It is a race along a course marked out by slalom poles making ‘gates’. You have to go through the gates in the right order and right direction, trying not to hit the poles and all this against the clock. It is good fun. You have two runs and your best time is taken. Cost to enter varies, but for one day, beginners (Div 4) can expect to pay £4.50, youth and £6.50 adults. Parking is £2.

Come and help! We need help all over the weekend.

Help to manage the event: judging, safety, runners, Start, Finish and so on. Then there is the help needed to manage the site: Parking, site safety toilets... And of course there is the Cook tent. Pam needs help from 8am till 5pm both days. And if you can’t help over the weekend, then donations of cakes are always welcome. FINALLY there is the ‘take-down’. Everyone is tired at this point on Sunday and we need many hands to take everything down and pack it all away. You can come to help at this point, even if you have not been able to be there over the weekend!!

The camp site, in the middle of the Forest of Dean, is called Biblins. It has the river Wye on one side and a wooded hill on the other side.

You need to bring a tent (or share one with a friend, single sex tents only), sleeping bag plus mat, and overnight things. There are toilets and showers close by. We pitch the big club marquee so that we can all eat together and if it is raining at least we have shelter together. Pam sorts out all the food and everyone mucks in together to prepare it and then do the clearing up afterwards.

A weekend in the wonderful Forest of Dean. We camp over Saturday night and we paddle the River Wye on two days. It’s a good trip to join.

This trip is ideal for open boaters and kayakers. We do a longish paddle on Saturday, fitting in the seal launch rock with slides and jumps and other mad frolics. And then we spend all Sunday playing on the easy rapids at the Yat, not to mention swimming down the rapids with ‘bums-up’ technique, lazing, and generally messing about.

We have a campfire on Saturday night and tell ghost stories to each other in the spooky gloom of the forest.

This trip is ideal for youth members.

The cost of the weekend is £34 which includes food, transport, campsite fees and paddling on two days.

This year there are changes to the way the campsite is run. Tents only are allowed: no caravans or camper-vans.

A deposit of £10 secures your place on this trip. (See P18 for updated booking procedures.)

Reports - Slalom


Winchester Slalom 2nd April By John Kent

This was a Division 4 and Open sla-lom held on a channel of the river Itchen in Winchester: a flat course and ideally suited to beginners to slalom. However, this year it was earlier than usual and for Frome Canoe Club it was well before our programme started so no opportu-nity to involve new paddlers. Still, a small band of stalwarts travelled to Winchester on the morning of the 2nd April, if nothing else, to gain some early season water time.

Those taking part were Lia and Sam in Div 4 C2, Ben in Open C1, and Lia, Ben, Andrew and myself in Open K1. No prizes were gained, well apart from Ben in C1 in a class on his own, but it gave us a chance to check out the new slalom boats in competition and I think the comments were positive all round.

I managed to beat Andrew by 1 second, getting my own back on him last year at this event when he beat me by the same margin. For a little bit of fun during lunch time, Andrew and I tested the C2. Whether it was the weight in the back or the fact that we didn't have spray decks fitted, but follow-ing a stern dipping manoeuvre through an upstream gate we continued down the course, filling up on the way, and eventually sinking the boat. A few unex-pected points there.

RESULTS Sam and Lia came 3rd in Div 4 C2.

John came 4th, Andrew came 5th and Ben came 6th in the Open K1Mens.

Lia came 5th in the Open KI Womens.

Ben came 1st in Open C1.

Reports - River Frome trip

The River Frome trip 10th April By Julia Rowley

I am a swimmer. Apparently, I have gained three points today. Not that I was looking for them. This trip started at Langham Farm and ended at Iford Manor. As I am probably the newest, and most likely, inexperi-enced member of the group of 35 canoeists present, I have somehow been ‘volunteered’ to write the re-port for the day! We had great weather and a few events along the way.

As Pam had said to me, “This is a friendly club, and you are welcome to come on the trip”. Someone in the clubhouse helped me to choose kit and a boat, Austin kindly gave me a lift and carried my boat and Chris (he says he's the oldest member) helped me to overcome my fear of the first weir which everyone walked around anyway.

Then the zoom flume approached. John offered to help me go round it, but I'm never going to learn unless I conquer such things. I went through it. It was fun and not difficult so with this new found confidence I got to Farleigh Hungerford weir which everyone seemed to be going into head first. So not letting the side

down and under Chris' advice of ‘brace when you hit the water’, in I plunged. Could I remember what brace meant? No, I wasn't thinking about that, more about the water approaching me pretty quickly. Hence, ding, my first three points. Over I rolled, but this, true to form, friendly group was quickly to the rescue with someone (thank you) grabbing my boat and me and tell-ing me to get to the side of the river. To be perfectly honest, it was nice to have the cold water cool me down as I'd been getting pretty hot under my two layers. Then I noticed Howard did a belly flop in the water at the weir - just lost his footing - but it doesn't matter - three points all the same for him.

With my confidence a little bruised, but my knees heavily, I knew I didn't have to be told what brace meant when I got to the next weir. This wasn't such a big drop, but a drop all the same. So when the launch came - out went my paddle hitting the water. And bingo, it worked. Got to listen to the masters, this time being Chris (again) and Andy. Later we trundled down to an island which I was heading for at a rapid rate of knots, only to have John come and rescue me and steer me round.

New clothing range


The last leg was quite an uneventful paddle past Hungerford Castle to-wards Iford Manor. At this stage I was glad to see the end because the boat was pretty uncomfortable due to my incessant slipping down the seat and my knees needed some TLC. I was pretty tired too. The good news was that Howard and I weren't the only ‘swimmers’ as Nathan had gone in and Peter had slipped by the river bank when getting back into his open boat. Sorry to name and shame, but I can't be the only one "on the board". According to Mandy, last year’s total was 35 (Jack). I might as well be re-membered for something!

Grand Easter Egg Hunt


We had four teams in this race to find Easter Eggs. Buffy and the Vampire Slayers finished first. Shortly after that were The Blunderbuses and The Specials. Last to climb ashore was The Us Team. Not that the order of arrival back mattered - because everyone seemed to get an egg!

We had some young paddlers with us today who were keen to get on the water and one in particular earned three points as he reached out to grab a card, lost bal-ance and fell in. (Our youngest to ever earn 3 points?) Fortunately Mum pulled Jack out pronto, none the worse for wear.

And after it was all over some of the other young ones went to play on the rope hanging over the pool. Stu in the little wooden boat managed to stay upright! Look on the web site to see more.

The River Etive by Arthur, seen

here on the Etive at Triple Two.

It was with some relief that the group decided on Sunday that per-haps it would not be a wise move to

have a warm up trip on the first day of our Scotland adventure 2011 on the Etive like we did in 2009. Some of you will be aware that a warm up on the Etive gives you about 20 seconds between getting on the water (if your nerves will let you) and shooting the first drop, Triple One which is the first of three grade 4 (5 if you believe the books) drops in quick succession. The first two being very close. Get it wrong on Triple One and you are stuffed on Triple Two. So a warm up on the Etive usually results in carnage within the first 5 minutes. We did the Spean Gorge and the Arkaig instead and it was great fun.

Day 2 Monday, we did the Etive. The sun was shining, the water was at a low but reasonable level, it was warm, photo paparazzi were in attendance and we were good to go.

The Etive is a fabulous pool drop river

located in, believe it or not, Glen Etive. The road running next to the river means you can follow the river all the way down from the get-in to the get -out, making it a great specta-tor river with features such as Triple falls (there’s three of them you know), Letterbox, Ski-jump, Crack of Doom, Crack of Dawn (which is nasty), the famous Big Man’s Falls (which everyone wants a picture of when they are shooting it) and then there is a final drop which is awkward but fun. These drops are interspersed with boulder gardens that get decid-edly trickier as the water gets lower.

Mostly we were paddling in big boats: it seems the days of paddling lower volume boats are over for all but the most “skilful” of paddlers i.e. myself and Alun. However having lower volume boats does lead to similar interesting moves to such an extent that we became known as the X-line boys and each drop had its own X line which could be bow up to the sky, stern up to the sky, sideways or up-side down.

We got through Triple One and Two reasonably fine, smiled for the cam-era, swore in the appropriate places and settled in an eddy to watch the others come through, at which point Sam the man is shouting out “’Ere

Scotland - River Etive

Reports - River Etive continued


Arf, Oi did it back-werds, Oi did. Oi did it backwerds!” and so for the next eight paddlers coming through the greet-ing was a similar “’Ere, Oi did it back-werds, Oi did, Oi did it backwerds!” On-wards then to Let-terbox and it was here that several technical points were gained by members of the group dropping over and getting pulled sideways into the resident stop-per, if my memory serves me correctly this included Rich, Alex, Sam and Alun. This is unnerving if you are at the top waiting to go over, all you can see is spray and flailing paddles, the occa-sional bow of a boat and there is a lot of shouting. (Did you know that Rich shouts at himself? It’s terrifying).

We proceeded further and Bill (we will call him Brave Bill) seemed to be get-ting wet quite a lot. Having gone through Crack of Doom during which Tim had a sneaky roll (not a bacon one either) we came up to Crack of Dawn. Now I think that these two features are misnamed and it is the latter that

ought to be called Doom as it really is nasty. You have to get a tight line over to the left through some rocks and then over a vertical 8 foot plus drop. If you get the line wrong and go to the right you have a similar drop but on to jagged rocks. Not nice. So Rich was designated safety cover to help peo-ple through the rocky obstacles and

we went through one by one. My turn and Rich calls me through but he was giving Alex a hand with his boat at the time and I’m thinking ‘Actually Rich, I’d rather you had both hands free just in case!’ So I pick my line and I think ‘Well if I nudge the rock on the left it will nudge my boat into the channel I want’. So that was my plan. How wrong I was! As soon as I nudged the rock, the bow of my boat shot skywards and to the right heading towards the drop I did not want to experience. The bow then pinned on another rock and things were get-ting a shade tricky. I looked over to

Sam likes backwards: Big Man’s

Falls, here we go!

15

Reports - River Etive continued


Rich who was still holding Alex’s boat with his jaw dropped and I thought ‘I need a bit of help here Rich….NOW! I’ll take the two points for a technical just stop me going over the wrong way ’cos at the moment it looks like it might be upside down as well!’

Catastrophe averted we moved on to the real highlight of the Etive: Big Man’s Falls also known as Right Angle Falls because you have to approach it via a tricky dog-leg section with a stopper in the middle. Danny, Rich and I didn’t bother to get out and look. What’s the point? It’s scary enough without looking at it, as long as it’s clear, let’s get it over with. (Why do we do this?) Danny went first then I went. The falls are 6-7 metres high and all you can see as you follow the flow of turbulent, bubbling water is a gaping hole where the water enters the pool. The noise of the falls is massive and then there is silence as you are swallowed up, disappearing from sight. All you can see is green and translu-cent. Did you remember to take a breath? There is pressure on your ear-drums, and on your arms from the im-pact. Where am I? Where is the surface? There is light, bubbles, am I upside down? Yep! Have I enough air for at least a couple of attempts to roll? First try, nope. Am I against the wall? Second attempt nope. Uh oh,

this isn’t going to end well. Third attempt and suddenly there is noise, shouting, whooping. I am up and can take in the view from the bottom. What a blast; this is why we do this! It’s mad but so exhila-rating. I can now enjoy watching the others with various stylistic approaches. Rich changes tack this year and takes it bow first so he could see where he is going and where he would swim (did he swim?) My memory fails me. Pam will need to confirm). Alun showed off and rolled at the top before coming over. Sam continued his “Oi did it backwerds! Oi did” theme. Jonny held his breath for so

Alex here on Big Man’s Falls chooses

Scotland - The Etive continued


long he thought he was free-diving, having cap-sized at the top and gone over the falls upside down still holding his breath. He also used his head to slow his descent over the drop. Bill decided to have an endurance swim behind the falls and left his boat there which eventually was retrieved by a local paddler because no one else was willing or mad enough to go behind and get it. Tim thought he was home and dry but wasn’t. So good entertainment all round and finished off by certain individuals tomb-stoning off the top.

Swimmer of the day has to be Brave

Jonny: Oh no! Shouldn’t

be doing it like that.

Bill who racked up a serious amount of points (11), but was still smiling by the end of the day (perhaps he had a knock on the head) and was still game for any-thing. (Worrying!)

17

Scotland - The Roy Gorge


A few words on the Roy gorge. This is a very interesting section of river, mainly because there is a large part of this section of river where if you swim, there is no-where to get out. So a capsize means an interesting swim or a dramatic rescue before the next rapid comes. This pressure all leads to livening up the proceedings!

The paddle is about 4 miles, through a tight gorge, with rapids of mainly grade 3 to 4 with two very dangerous siphons. A siphon, for the uninitiated, is an under water passage through which the water flows, but the problem is that your kayak will not go through the hole and come out the other side, resulting in one wedged pad-dler under water, and up to half the river piling in on top, keeping him firmly in place. So siphons are to be avoided at all costs. Having said that, one of our party, Alun did get a bit too close for comfort,

but a roll got him out of danger. How-ever an almighty thump to the head in the process required us to check his helmet.

You travel fairly quickly in the gorge and rocks at that speed are unforgiv-ing and really hurt, as Arthur found out. Paddle hits rock and bounces back to whack head. Nice cut to below eye. Bit of on-site repair work with steri-strips and all’s good.

We finished this trip with a walk-out up a 1-in-4 hill for 500 metres. If the river was not going to kill us the walk-out would. This was our second river of the day and we were shattered, so an evening meal of pizza and cake with custard back at HQ, or was it custard with double cream for some?

The Roy gorge is a real committing paddle, which was enjoyed by all, even the upside down group. Check out our photos on the web site. For me, I can say this was one of the best trips to Scotland I have had, if not the best. Thanks to you all for making it such a joy.
