Saturday 11th February saw DCC members launch on the River Kent at Burnside for a gentle paddle down to Kendal and back. The launch point at Burnside was very accessible as there were steps down to the waters edge making it easier to get in your boat aswell as having benches and tables to sit at and have your lunch afterwards.
"We paddled from Burnside down through Kendal to Scroggs Weir. It's a trip of about 7km on grade 1/2 water and is a nice easy tour through the town and surrounding countryside. We paddled as two groups, whitewater race boats and a mixed group of open canoes and kayaks. Overall a very enjoyable paddle out, despite the cold, on a nice albeit tame local river. Andy "
