durham to finchale

Message from sandra, I've done a quick invite on facebook, but have probably missed most people! Get yourselves there, perfect warm up for local league!

A Grade 2/2+ river race on the River Wear on Saturday the 12th November. We will meet at Freeman's Quay (old Ice Rink) car park at 10:00am for a briefing aim to be on the water at 10:30 and paddle down to the start as a warm up together (about 15-20min downstream of Durham).
Race will start at a marked corner of the river about 20min downstream of Durham and finish will be at the bridge at Finchale Priory. Race should take abo...ut 25-30min on easy whitewater.
This will be a great opportunity for people to get racing practice in before BUCS/Tour of the North or just a nice alternative to a weekend river trip.
You can use any boat you like and time discounts will be given for people in plastic boats and wavehoppers.
Entry fees will be £5 for adults and £3 for U18s and students with lots of good prizes for different categories, BARGAIN!!!
Any questions/further info required post on the wall. Hope to see lots of people there for some good racing.
If you want to borrow a boat this should be possible just get in touch, some wavehoppers should be available.
Cheers,
Sandra
