Explorers Connect Explorers Connect Adventure Shared River Journey Explorers Connect www.explorersconnect.com Explorers Connect ​ www.facebook.com/ExplorersConnect Adventure shared www.twitter.com/explorerstweet River Journey & Woodland Wild Camp 30­31 July 2016 Canoe, kayak or Stand Up Paddleboard down the River Great Ouse, stay in a teepee in a private riverside woodland and learn camp cooking on the open fire. Escape for a weekend of paddling, wild camping and adventure skills in rural Bedfordshire on one of the most beautiful rivers in Britain. Travel by canoe, kayak and/or stand­up paddle board (no experience is necessary). You will start your adventure with coaching from professional instructors learning different techniques before heading off downstream. Leave from Bedford's Victorian embankment and paddle out into miles of pristine river. This stretch is known for otter sightings, plenty of kingfishers, herons and other wildlife. Bring your swimming costume for some optional wild swimming and rope swings. After several hours of paddling, practicing different skills, you will arrive at a secluded riverside woodland to enjoy a night wild camping under the stars. You will literally paddle into the site then make camp in shared teepees and tents or bring your own tent or hammock. As a group we’ll cook a free­range woodland feast over the camp fire, learning some top tips for preparing bush tucker. Then it’s time to relax around the fire and toast marshmallows. The second day will start with a campfire breakfast and some adventure challenges in the woodland and river. Late morning you will return to your canoe or SUP and continue the journey downstream through leafy riverside villages before finishing at a riverside pub. Starts 10am on Saturday. Finishes 3pm Sunday TRAVEL AND LOCATIONS We will start at the Butterfly Bridge opposite Russell Park on Bedford’s Victorian Embankment at th 10 am on Saturday 30 ​ July. The postcode is MK40 3RH. ​ Getting here: Many people lift share. If you can offer or need a lift (or just want to say “hi” to ​ fellow attendees), then you can do this on the event facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1013898865312111/ Please be aware this is a public page Driving to Bedford: You can drive to the start point and there is parking in the area. Some of the parking around the Bedford Embankment is meter controlled, some is not so do look at signs. If you can’t find any space close to the Bridge drive to the Aspect cinema and there is free parking close by. Arriving by train into Bedford Station: Its 1km to walk to the meeting point. Leave the station and turn right towards town at the pelican crossing. Turn left at the mini roundabout and right into Prebend Street. Cross over Prebend Street Bridge and follow the pedestrian walk­way alongside the river bank. The River will be on your left hand side. You will walk past the Star Rowing Club Explorers Connect Ltd 124 Cheltenham Road Bristol United Kingdom BS6 5RW Company Number: 7598165 Explorers Connect www.explorersconnect.com Explorers Connect ​ www.facebook.com/ExplorersConnect Adventure shared www.twitter.com/explorerstweet and Viking Kayak Club on the opposite bank. Cross the road at the stone town bridge and keep walking along the embankment, past the Bedford Rowing Club and Park Inn Hotel and onto the central islands of the River. You will pass the suspension bridge over the River which is a pedestrian bridge and at that point will be able to see the Butterfly Bridge, the second pedestrian bridge. You will cross several wooden pedestrian bridges on your toue and pass the bandstand on the beautiful Mill Meadows. We will be on the central embankment island with our trailer and kit – look out for a Land Rover. It is about a 15­20 minute walk to the start. We can pick up some people and or kit in our van at 09.30 am at the station and have seats for circa 3­4 people plus kit. Getting back We are due to be finished by 3 pm on Sunday at Eaton Socon which is about 1 hour North of London on the A1. Those travelling by train can travel on from St Neots station. Those with cars at the start point can arrange a taxi back to their cars at Bedford but we can provide some lifts too. Postcode for the finish point is PE19 8GW which is the River Mill Tavern. KAYAKING, CANOEING, SUP We will have our experienced coaches available to support the trip and will provide basic through to advanced tuition as needed for participants. Paddlers can learn skills for canoeing, kayaking, or stand up paddle boarding from our coaches. On Day 1 we will spend some time coaching skills, playing a few games, trying the different kayaks and canoes and also investigating the Bedford Embankment, lower river, away from the rowers. This will include visiting the Etienne Stott White Water Arena (wont be running unless heavy rain) but we can play with the slalom gates and practice skills. We will end the day around the campfire enjoying good food and banter. Total distance after skills and drills 5­6 miles. Day 2 will involve some bushcraft skills and outdoor skills in the wood enjoying the woodland with a free range breakfast. Then we paddle down to Willington. Some people may chose to shoot the weir at Willington or Great Barford Locks. Then it is about 7­8 miles of meandering river with Kingfishers and Herons down to St Neots. CAMPING We are staying in a private woodland. This is truly wild camping, so there are wild facilities (Solar showers, Long Drop toilets etc). You will literally paddle into the site and portage your canoe, or kayak on the bank to make camp. Accommodation is in shared teepees and tents, bring your own tent or hammock if you prefer. If you haven't done 'communal living' for a while it is lots of fun but you might want to bring earplugs just in case!

  • UKS19980308 Duck Mill Div4-5
    VIKING KAY AK CLUB Duck-Mill Weir Division 4/5 Slalom March 7th/8th 1998 Results Welcome to the 1998 season. I am sure that I speak for most of us involved in the organisation in being so disappointed at the low turnout on both days, but all of you who did turn up had a go in the true spirit of Slalom, and we hope that you enjoyed your visit to Bedford. We all owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to those willing(?} volunteers who gave up a days holiday on Friday to put the course up for the first race, and to all those bodies mostly, but not all, Viking members who made the changes for the second race. I cannot list them all here because I do not have enough paper but to them all, and to all the Paddling and non-Paddling Judges, Starters, Finishers and Control staff, THANK YOU. I would particularly like to thank Nigel Winters and Richard Menhinick for their Jury work. Thanks are also due to Sue Banfield and her teams for keeping us all fed and watered throughout the weekend, to Mike Stott and to Jim Croft for the loan of the van, and the Tanney and Computer equipment respectively, and to Nigel, the Mikes, and Gary Denton, and anyone else who helped with rescue. I hope you all felt re-assured by their presence. Finally, thanks to you the paddlers for coming along and taking part. Congratulations to those of you who earned promotion on taking a step up the ladder of British Canoe Slalom ( a certain Richard Fox took part in his first formal Canoe Slalom here in the '701s} ,,----.

  • 2018 Canoe Sprint & Marathon Handbook
    £6 2018 Canoe Sprint & Marathon Handbook NEW for 2018 - Racing Coach Award At the start of 2014, the British Canoeing Coaching Strategy Group initiated a review of our qualifications. This resulted in proposals to revise the structure, with a phased approach to the development (and implementation) of the various components. The first phase focused on the Club Activity Assistant, piloted at the start of 2016. This was followed by developments within the Leadership strand, including a new Paddlesport Leader Award, rebranding of the 4 and 5 Star awards, and the introduction of a Guide scheme; all launched April 2017. This next phase focuses on the development of the qualifications previously pitched at UKCC Level 2. The development is, in the main, focused on a restructuring and creating discipline specific pathways available across all disciplines. This will significantly change the prerequisites and the pathway through taught and assessed elements. Direct entry to the Racing Coach Award, removal of the portfolio and specific deliverers. The ‘Coach Awards’ will supersede the current Level 2, Moderate/Advanced Water Endorsements, and Discipline Support Modules. The qualifications are designed for people whose core function is to coach paddlers who want to gain/improve paddlesport skills within the discipline chosen. This will include coaching beginners new to the sport, or paddlers looking to develop their skills in the given discipline/environment.

Peter Curry and David Lindesay were appointed tellers for the meeting. 1.2 Points of Order and Clarifications The secretary highlighted some typographic errors in the Agenda and apologised for the errors. These were not felt to affect the spirit of the motions. It was confirmed that when voting, only a Simple Majority is needed, except for changes to Regulations where 2/3 Simple Majority required. Some club representatives had not brought proof of National Federation membership with them. The Secretary believes they are members and the meeting approved them exercising their club votes. The order of business for the general discussion was amended so that the guest speaker does not have to stay to the end. A method of voting for motion 6.15 was proposed and accepted.
