RIVER LEVENS - CLUB DATES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION (taken from UK Rivers Guide Website): Sarting at Newby Bridge, the weir is the first obstacle. It should present no
problems in low/ medium levels but the stopper is quite sticky if you
try to play in it! Below this are a series
of rapids which offer good play potential...
- A weir which is usually run between
brick walls in the centre...the stopper either side looks uninviting.
The centre chute is fun to surf/ play.
- A sharp two metre
drop on the river left side of an island. This can form a big wave/
stopper. Below this you can play in the stopper which ends the river
right route around the island.
-
A one metre drop.
- Some wide surf waves across the river.
- A more continuous Grade 3 section with a steep two metre drop to watch out for in the middle.
After this the section of 'permitted' access ends (called 'The Racecourse'). These trips will be a day trip so please bring a hot drink, packed lunch and a change of clothes, we will meet at the hut at 10am to collect equipment etc.
