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.

Coming events

Gloucester - Sharpness Canal
From Saturday 05 June 2010 -  01:00am
To Monday 07 June 2010 - 12:59am
Contact Margaret Evans

The intention is to paddle out and back from Saul Junction on each day. There are toilets, a cafe and car parking here (fee charged).

Saul Junction is midway on the canal, being both 8 miles from Gloucester Docks and 8 miles from Sharpness Docks.
This is a pretty and historically interesting waterway, with great views over the Severn estuary from the towpath at the Sharpness end.

If the weather is favourable it would be good to do a full 16 miles each day. The Sunday trip could be modified in favour of those wishing to return home earlier.

(This trip is not recommended for novices as the canal is a wide, deep ship canal and has no flow to assist progress and can occasionally be quite windy, and the intention is to do as much of it as possible.)

If you wish to camp nearby, then Margaret can let you know of suitable campsites.  Please contact her before Fri 28th May.
