Beginner whitewater kayak trip around the 5km "Witton's Loop" on the Yarra. Grade 2 Rapids to be negotiated. A lovely introduction to whitewater paddling, however you must be a competent swimmer to join this trip.

More details about the journey are on this map (under "Homestead to Wittons").

Trips size depends on cars. If only my car is involved, trip size is limited to 3. We will likely have two cars meaning a max size of 7. Unless we have another leader AND another car join, we can't take more than 7 so first in best dressed here.

Meeting at club rooms at 0930 sharp on Saturday. Bring $10 for boat hire and another $5 if you want to hire a wetsuit. If no wetsuit, it's advised to wear a woollen/poly pro thermal while kayaking. Shoes must also be worn while on the water.

Also bring along usual items like sunscreen, water bottle, snacks, etc.
