Description:
Come and join us for the White Water Christmas Dart Trip!
Paddling, Secret Santa, Pub and more Paddling! There will be the option on Saturday evening to attend the Gene17 evening at the country park!
Basing ourselves in the Tavistock area, we hope to look at doing runs of rivers such as the Tavy, Dart, Walkham, Teign tailored based on suitability of the group.
Every effort will be made to ensure a good weekend of paddling, but please remember that it is a weather-dependent sport, so there are no guarantees!
The Dart Loop:
The River Dart is a river in Devon, England which rises high on Dartmoor, and releases to the sea at Dartmouth. The Dart Loop is a classic white water run that finishes up at the Dart Country park. It has plenty of features spaced out by gentle sections.
