As a section of the Camping and Caravanning Club, all our camping events are open to Camping and Caravanning Club members (including Canoe-camping Club members) only. Anyone participating must be a member of the Camping and Caravanning Club before attending a meet.

Please remember to bring your Club membership cards to all club events, since we are required to check and record memberships are current.  We also need to record BRITISH CANOEING numbers for those who have them. Paddlers need to be a member of the Canoe-camping Club and/or one of Britain's paddlesport National Governing Bodies*.   These are needed to ensure that we are covered by the Club's and British Canoeing's insurance.
Canoeing and kayaking are ‘assumed risk’ ‘water contact’ activities, however serious accidents are very rare.
Participants should be aware of and accept these risks, and be responsible for their own action and involvement.
All participants in club trips or meets do so at their own risk, and neither the Club nor its officers can accept any liability for loss or injury of any kind sustained whilst on a Club trip, meet or other activity.

Saturday paddle from Stockport to Trafford Metrovik RFCC 18km/11mls, Sunday paddle from Jacksons Boat pub to Carrington Recreation Grounds 9km/6mls (this overlaps the last 4km/2.5 mls of Saturday being the stretch with the longest rapid). It is grade1-2 depending on water level; it has some easy rapids between Northenden Weir and Metrovik RFCC, the rest is quite flat. On Saturday there are 3 weirs which can be shot at the right water level or can be portaged; on Sunday there is one weir which must be portaged. As condition of the access agreement a helmet must be worn at all times. Some moving water experience will be needed.

Accommodation: we have a vacant granny flat with 2 rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom so anyone is welcome to stay there. Three or four cars and any boats will fit inside our back garden, more car parking space on the road.
