Barle Trip 12-14 October 2012

[Di W]

Barle Trip £32 a head includes meals and accommodation! This trip is normally popular due to it being inexpensive, suitable for all abilities and fun. To book your place you need to pay £32 which is non-refundable. please pass your money to Di Wade. Cash is prefered.

Accommodation will be in the Wooden Barn at Northcombe Farm, Hollam, Dulverton, Somerset, TA22 9SH. We will be self-catering, everyone mucks in and it is normally good fun.

It is bunkhouse accommodation, 10 people to a room, you need to bring sleeping bags and extra bedding if you feel the cold, as well as a pillow. Mattresses are provided.

To paddle you need moving water experience, you should be able to break in and out of the flow. Ideally you should feel comfortable paddling under the bridge Arches at Yalding when in good flow. Beginners will be welcome.

The river is grade is normally a gentle 2-3 but can reach 4 when in flood. For this reason river leaders will advise paddlers whether or not conditions are suitable for beginners, paddlers are asked to co-operate with river leaders advice.

If we have no rain i.e. there is no water in the river we will probably go Surfing at Woolcaombe, this has been very successful in the past.

The evening meal will be pasta and bolognaise rice dish etc, cooked breakfast bacon/sauasage and eggs, everyone joins in with washing up etc. Bring your own alcohol no pub for miles!

Happy Paddling Di
