Some of the Pathfinders took part in this trip to India last year. Come along and see what they got up to.

Teifi Trip
Kate is running a weekend trip to the Teifi, details follow.

Date: 27th to 29th of January.
Location: We will be staying at the bunk house owned by llandysul paddlers in pont tyweli. There is a pub about 5 mins walk away which will take our group booking for the Saturday night.
Cost: The cost will be £10 per person per night. All meals will be bring your own.
Details: A vague river plan would be to paddle the section of the teifi from llandysul paddlers to the falls then maybe find something Swansea way for a Sunday paddle. Possibly the Neath. This is obviously water level dependant and who comes on the trip. The mentioned section of the teifi  is grade 2 with some 3 which is easily portaged. And the neath is also a lovely river from what I remember. The weekend should  will be a good confidence booster. For those wanting harder rivers there is also plenty around.

Email Kate with definite confirmation they are coming, she will be at the pub meeting on Weds

Guys Annual Wales Trip Trip
This will take place in February details to be confirmed, but let Guy know if you’re interested.


Pub Paddle

Annabelle has organised a ‘Pub Paddle’ this Sunday (17th April). Starting at the club hut and finishing at the Plough in Long Wittenham.

The plan is to meet at the club hut and arrange a shuttle so that everyone is ready to leave at 10:00am (so probably be at the hut for 9:00-9:30am). A leisurely paddle should mean getting to the pub for lunch time at which point a slap up meal is in order before doing the car shuttle to get everyone back to Abingdon. What could be a more fun way to spend a Sunday?

When setting up the car shuttle, they’ve asked us to park “right at the top and past the swings” so we’re not taking up too much space in the pub car park. if you need to borrow club kit please make sure you are at the hut in plenty of time to sort out everything you need.

Any questions? In that case let Annabelle know or email me and I’ll try and help.
