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.

This year we will be camping at Abbey Farm Llangollen, their web site below…

Please contact them and they will endeavour to keep us all together.

 

The Sat (relaxed) trip:

We portage to the canal then paddle up past Llangollen to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct approximately 4 miles. Then IF you are brave enough paddle the length of the aqueduct. There is refreshments (ie a pub) on “our side” of the aqueduct, I recommend that a drink to be had AFTER the aqueduct paddle.

It will be decided Friday night by the masses if we simply paddle back to the site or ferry cars to a public car park next to the pub. So either a four mile day or an eight mile day.

The Sun (possibly not so relaxed) trip:

This day could be taken as a day of rest or as there is not much placid waters in the area it could be a white water paddle/play (as it’s not so relaxed a trip you take your life in your own hands for this one folks). Sunday will be decided at a Pow-Wow Saturday night. 

For Non Paddlers you could always walk along the canal tow path or simply head into Llangollen information here http://www.new.llangollen.org.uk/
