 		 Sunday River Arun Day Trip on River Arun - 1 Volunteer? C
?
 		 Saturday Thames London Meet by the Thames Tradesmen's Rowing Club on the North bank, on the upstream side of Barnes railway bridge(postcode W4 2SH) at XXXX. A paddle to Tower Bridge and return, about 22 miles in total, but both directions hopefully with the tide. You can bring lunch and afternoon tea, but there should be time for a pub break somewhere. Because of the distance this is a trip for touring or sea kayaks, or tandem open boats. Because of strong tides and river traffic hazards it is not one for novices. Don't forget your camera 3 Barry D K

Trip Waiver !!

"Whitewater rapids will be encountered. You can be jolted, jarred, bounced, thrown to and fro, and otherwise shaken about during rides through some of these rapids …….. Boats could turn over or you could be "washed" overboard as a result of unexpected wave action. This could result in mental anguish or trauma" (Extract from Outdoors Unlimited River Trips, Flagstaff, USA 'Risk Acknowledgement')
