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.

In summer there is insufficient water to paddle, hence an early date. The river is grade 1-2, with some weirs that may be shot or portaged. Lots of bends with trees and possible fallen ones, so this is not suitable for beginners or delicate boats. Suitable for kayak & canoes with air bags.

Nearby places of interest plus good potential for walking for non paddlers.

Camping at Home Farm, Bircher, Nr Leominster.

Nearest pub is 10 minutes walk.

Friday:

Arrive at camp-site & settle in

Saturday:

Letchmoor Bridge to Mortimer Cross – 9 miles

1st mile is very bendy and an obstacle course last time.

Section from Letchmoor to Upper Lye rates as one of the most scenic I know.

Includes some small simple weirs.

Below Upper Lye the river passes through a steep sided gorge, but usually fewer obstacles.

Some small weirs plus one at Mortimer Cross which many will portage.

Sunday:

Lugg Green to Leominster - 6 miles

Includes 4 wiers that may be shot and good for playing/coaching. There are also 3 modern weirs that must be portaged.

Location Bircher, Nr Leominster.
