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.

Purbeck salt water trips.
Camping at Woodyhyde, between Corfe Castle and Swanage. No caravans, they can stay at the Club site at Corfe Castle or Redcliffe Farm Camping. It is still a busy time in the area so book sooner than later. Please email me if you intend coming.

This w/e is NOT for beginners. The sea trips are for 2* or above or equivalent experience (consult the organiser on this matter). Canadians and smaller touring style boats can do Poole Harbour. Sit on Tops may do the harbour unless sea experienced when they may join the sea trips (at Leaders discretion). The same applies to sea experienced open (canadian) canoes. This w/e is aimed at pleasure rather than distance. It is hoped to paddle to Old Harry, Durdle Dor, Bats Head Tunnel and other Jurassic Coast delights. Weather permitting of course. If adverse weather we will all be paddling within the massive natural harbour (2nd largest in the world). For non-paddlers there are so many local attractions that you would need a week or 2 to complete them all.
