Fun Races Day

FAQs

• What shall I bring?

  Warm clothes and a change of dry clothes! Depending on the weather this could include a fleece, warm t-shirt/thermal, tracksuit trousers, waterproof trousers, cagoule/windproof, hat and towel. We encourage you to wear footwear, plimsolls or wet-shoes are ideal.

  There are changing rooms & a toilet available during this time. We strongly recommend a change of clothes because, although most people are pretty stable in the boats, there is always the chance of falling in and you are likely to get splashed a few times.

• Where is the boathouse?

  The nearest postcode is EH11 1EQ. Enter through the blue gate in the wall beside the canal bridge and descend some steep steps.

• Can we share a boat?

  We have some 2-person canoes and if you'd like to share you are more than welcome to use one of them.

• I have another question, who can I contact?

  After you have booked, if you have any questions about the event or about the club in general, please contact Alan (course.admin@forthcanoeclub.co.uk). If he can't answer your question he may pass it to the coach running the event or to another committee member.
