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.

Norfolk Broads

Our annual visit.The Broads is a beautiful place this time of year, with few cruisers about and the potential for some autumn sunshine - and sometimes high winds!!! The waters paddled will be a combination of open broads and rivers, and are suitable for all craft and paddlers subject to wind conditions and the ability to cover about 10 miles in a day. Portage wheels useful, but not essential if feeling strong.  Canoeing Programme to be decided on the days - depending on wind conditions. Possibilities are:-

  1. From Stalham, across Barton Broad down R. Ant, R. Bure and up R. Thurne to site 10 miles or 11½ if we detour into Ranworth Broad - lunch at Ludham Bridge or Ranworth
