River Trips

Phoenix Canoe Club run regular river trips to suit a range of  abilities from novice to intermediate and beyond. Introductory Level 1, Paddle Discover or One Star paddlers can attend “Adult Paddles” for over 18’s or “Big Day Out Paddles” for all ages, generally on flat water with the odd section of excitement – a drop, slide or rapids – all of which can usually be portaged around. At Intermediate Level 2, Paddle Explore or Two Star ability level, the list opens up to include a range of rivers generally with good sections of grade 2 water with rapids, weirs, small drops and features. We also run regular trips to the Lee Valley Whitewater Centre, where you can be coached on the Legacy Course before you take your LVWW Assessment and then work up to the Olympic course. At White Water Award or Three Star level, most trips are open to you, with grade 3 features introduced into the mix and some paddling on rivers abroad available.
