\nDetails:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 This is a club favourite! Lots of challenges and plenty of opportunity to practice river reading skills. This is an all day trip so we can’t guarantee when we will be back so come prepared with lots of water, snacks and a lunch. After the trip, we will stop for a swim at Port Elgin and have\u00a0 a fish & chips supper at the Queen’s Hotel. We may even stop for icecream on the way back! So bring extra money.
\nSkill Level:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>Experienced paddlers only! There are sections with fast moving water that isn’t covered with basic training!
\nShuttle<\/strong>:<\/span> Yes
\nTrip Fee<\/strong>:<\/span> $9 (Out of town trip more than 100 km)<\/p>\n

For a quick review on “reading the river”, there is a section in the OSSCC Handbook<\/strong> on pg. 22<\/a> that talks about reading water which we learned in our intermediate training. There are hard copies of the manual available at the shed for $10 per copy. Just ask the Trip Organizer.<\/p>\n

TRIP CANCELLATIONS FYI<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe have been having wacky weather these last few weeks with constant threats of thunderstorms\/lightning which contributed to trip cancellations.\u00a0 Trips will only be cancelled if there are thunderstorms\/lightning imminent during our paddle time (we have paddled in the rain if there is no lightning danger), if not enough people sign up for a trip, if no one volunteers to tow, or if no one volunteers to organize a particular trip. Let’s hope next week brings good paddling weather.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We need Trip Organizers to organize and lead trips for both the Tuesday and Thursday outings, especially the ones that are blank on the Trip Schedule.<\/a><\/strong> Anne has her name beside most of the trips, but would love it if others would step up. If you volunteered on your membership form to be a Trip Organizer, please contact Anne and let her know which trip you\u2019d like to organize (if you haven\u2019t spoken already). We\u2019ve added some of our favourite trips to the schedule, so if you can, consider volunteering or team up with a friend to help organize and lead. If we don\u2019t get anyone to lead these trips, they will be cancelled.
\nContact Anne Woolner at\u00a0\u00a0annewoolner@hotmail.com<\/a>\u00a0or call 519-743-2277 to sign up. If you want to know what organizing a trip entails, we have a\u00a0trip organizing section on the Blog to<\/a>\u00a0help you out!<\/p>\n
