    Paddlers supporting the coached activity should sign up to this registration.

Registration is closed

Nick Morrall  and Brian Wenlock, supported by Grant McKelvie, are running a coached session on the River Teme in Ludlow on Saturday 24th April. To be safe and within BC guidance, the coached spaces are limited to 10.

This is a CLUB ACTIVITY, as such non-coached numbers are open however the event will operate under the general instruction of Nick as Lead Paddler.

This event is open to those who have had a little experience of White Water paddling, it is not suitable for complete novice beginners due to the current levels on the Teme and the nature of the weirs. Starter events will start in May.

Proposed to have two runs down the 4 weirs, with coaching along the way in general WW skills, including an introduction to surfing. The Teme is level dependant - alternative location to be advised if levels not suitable.

There are two types of registration for this event; Coached which will be coached by Nick and Brian (limited to 10 places), and Non-coached where the attendee is expected to be able to not require coaching to paddle at Ludlow. Akin to a Peer Paddle. If you are unsure which you should book onto please email secretary@shrewsburycanoeclub.org 

Required equipment;

  • Boat that must have airbags in it
  • Buoyancy Aid
  • Spray Deck
  • Helmet
  • Paddle
  • Warm, non-cotton clothing. The water is cold so a wet or dry suit is important
  • Waterproof over-layer
  • Warm change of clothes, snack, hot drink etc

Grant McKelvie will be at the containers at Frankwell at 6pm on Friday 23 April to make club kit available if required (£7.50 hire applies), before meeting at Ludlow at 10.00 to be on the water at 10.30. Likely to finish at 15.00 or there abouts. 

Any questions give Nick an email on nickmorrall@icloud.com or secretary@shrewsburycanoeclub.org.
