Thursday evening club meetings

[stuart]

We meet at Orton Staunch (next to the Orton Mere Nene Valley Railway station; click here for a map) on Thursday evenings from the first week in May to around the end of September.

We aim to be on the water at 7pm so it is a good idea to turn up by 6:45. Sessions finish about 9pm when the nights are longer, but have to finish earlier, when it gets dark, towards the beginning and end of the season.


Thursday nights are club nights, and as such there is no formal coaching unless by prior arrangement.

This is very much a night for peer paddling and peer coaching, whether you want to spend time on the Staunch improving your moving water skills or go on a trip to Peterborough’s quayside or around Ferry Meadow lakes.

You will need your own equipment. It will still be possible to borrow club equipment, but only by prior arrangement.

If you are a beginner or are unsure of your abilities, or do not own your own equipment then you would benefit from attending the Wednesday evening coaching sessions at Milton Ferry (see separate post for details).
