It is just over an hours drive from Scunthorpe, so it can be done as a day trip.<\/p>\n<p>This is the same venue as the event we ran last Easter, which was really popular. You can see photos\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/GSCC08\/SaturdayKayakersAtOurEasterTanfieldWeekend\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/GSCC08\/SundayKayakersAtOurEasterWeekendAtTanfield\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>\u00a0showing the venue and the fun we had!<\/p>\n<p>We sometimes call this a whitewater day, and you may hear the coaches saying that, but please do not be put off by the word &#8220;whitewater&#8221;! This day is open to all paddlers who are comfortable wearing a spraydeck and have demonstrated they can capsize wearing one. Please talk to a coach if you are unsure of your, or your child&#8217;s, suitability\u00a0to attend. Please note also that this river can rise quickly after heavy rain in which case it\u00a0can be\u00a0unsuitable for beginners, so we cannot guarantee that you will be able to paddle (though usually the problem is not enough water!). It is at the coaches discretion whether paddling will take place or not and their decision is final.<\/p>\n<p>If you are going, why not make a weekend of it? Sleningford Mill is a caravan and campsite right next to the moving water section of the river. Some of us will be going up Friday night and leaving Monday morning (no club paddling on Monday though), so book a pitch now! Please book your pitch direct with the campsite:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sleningfordwatermill.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow nofollow\">www.sleningfordwatermill.co.uk<\/a>\u00a0STOP PRESS: The site may be full for electric pitches. Non electric MAY be still available.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, if you are attending, please remember to add your name to the list in our boathouse and tick the box for any club kit you wish to borrow. It is the borrower&#8217;s responsibility to transport the kit they borrow, including boats, to the venue (or arrange the transport of it).<a name=\"mctoc4\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h1>Moving Water Weekend Accommodation<\/h1>\n<p>If Sleningford campsite is full, or camping is not for you, Martin Heywood has a two bedroom river side\u00a0apartment in West Tanfield village (short drive of 30 min walk away),\u00a0booked for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.<\/p>\n<p>One room (a double) is still available, at \u00a3145 per room for the three nights, = \u00a348.33 per night.
