Our paddle this Tuesday is on the Nith River  from Ayr to Wolverton . This trip has not been done for several years . The river is low compared to when  Lynn and I scouted it last year so it will be interesting to see how much things have changed. Our biggest problem is the put in.  There is about a 2 foot drop to the water and a very small ledge to stand on. Only 1 canoe can be put in at a time. There is no easy way to get into the canoe so we may have to get into the water first then into the canoe. The take out is easier but a long haul up the bank to the side of the road.

Cost is $6    Meet at the shed at 8:30 am.

Don’t forget to bring lots of water, sunscreen, lunch, bug repellent  and a change of clothes.(just in case)

Trip organizers are:  Lynn Warmington  and Dianne Wagner

This stretch of the Grand River is popular because it is doeable throughout the canoeing season. Depending on the river flow there are lots of rapids and some challenging areas. Deer can often be seen as well as the occasional muskrat.

Be sure to bring lots of water, lunch , sunscreen, a hat and your best paddling skills. As of Sunday there is a chance of rain, so bring your rain gear.

Cost is $6    Meet at the shed at 8:30. Your trip organizers are: Lynn Warmington,  Mark Zelinka  and Dianne Wagner.

We did this section in our training so it will be interesting to see how the river has changed.  Lots hope for a sunny fun filled day.

TRIP CHANGE FOR TUESDAY JUNE 25

Due to the Speed River being too low we will be doing the Grand River from Glen Morris to Birley Gates.  This is also on the schedule for August 20th but is a favourite and is always different and exciting  depending on the water level.

Trip organizer is Lynn Warmington

Someone left a hydroskin glove in Murray’s car last week after canoeing .I will leave it in the shed beside the blue binder on Thursday.
