Notes for Trips

SVCC run a variety of river trips to accommodate those on their first moving water trip, to those wanting grade 3-4 knuckle whitening epics.

We ask that those attending trips are competent to do so and for beginner/introductory trips it is suggested that individuals are working towards the BCU 2* syllabus in kayak (or open canoe if applicable) and can manoeuvre their kayaks effectively and can perform a capsize with a spray deck.

Higher graded trips will be at the discretion of the trip organiser based on the number of members wishing to attend and their perceived skill levels.

For details of river grades please look at UK Rivers Guide Book or International Scale of River Grading.

Alternatively look at Realistic UK Rivers Guide Book Alternative Grading.

Trips

White Water Trips

In the winter the club organises regular (at least fortnightly, and sometimes weekly) trips to WW rivers of easy and moderate grade in the SW, S Wales and Mid Wales.

White water trips in the summer comprise occasional visits to the Tryweryn and to the artificial Cardiff International White Water course, plus 'ad hoc' trips on natural rivers when levels are sufficiently high after periods of rain.  

Flat Water Trips

Sea Kayaking

Depending on weather and people's availability, there could be sea kayak trips at short notice during the winter months.  For more information, or if interested in being contacted if an opportunity arises, please contact Dave Thomas on 01453 860047.

General information on these or other trips can be obtained from Dave Thomas on 01453 860047.

SVCC Organised Courses

From time to time SVCC organise training for club members that cannot be provided by club coaches.

If there are other trips not listed here, please contact Dave Thomas on 01453 860047  and we'll see if we can generate sufficient interest.
