Trip Details:
This is a club favourite on a very picturesque river starting at Sideroad 19 access north of Kimberley. Stop and have our picnic lunch at Heathcote. Take out at Slabtown.
The lower section contains a delightful series of rapids endiing at a dam at Slabtown. This is longer trip that requires stamina and endurance, with moderate rapids and spectacular scenery as we meander north viewing high cliffs and observing flora and fauna.
We stop for lunch at a lovely bend in the river where some can cool off with a swim. This is an all day paddle that usually ends up with an ice cream cone!
This trip does require stamina as it is longer and has a few challenges along the way.
Intermediate training is a MUST for this trip.
Please make car pooling arrangements before we meet on Tuesday morning.
If you carpool, please reimburse your driver ($20 would be appropriate for this trip).
If you drive in a different car each way, please reimburse both drivers.
Remember: Bring lunch, water, hat, sunscreen, PFD and proper foot wear- no flip flops or crocs!
