Mitchell River Inter-Uni Paddling 2015

The annual inter-uni paddling trip, with groups joining us from Monash and Latrobe Universities.

~-~-~-~

While the trip is full for now, there still may be a spot depending on who is kayaking and if anyone pulls out.

There is still room on the waiting list so get your raft on!!

~-~-~-~

We have just had our rafts arrive so this trip is open to everyone from the first time rafter to world class kayaker.

The plan is, drive down Friday night, the 18th September, and car camp at a campground (with hot showers!) mid way along the section we paddle. If you can't make it down Friday, then leaving super early Saturday may work.

Saturday's paddle is from Angusvale to the Den of Nargun and leave boats up on the flood terraces. From there it is a 15 minute walk back to the campground - warm up, cook dinner and enjoy a few beverages around a fire.

Sunday we retrace our steps to the river and paddle down to the take out at the Final Fling (III) rapid.

Those wishing to kayak, instead of rafting, must have kayaked with the club and be at a suitable standard (Confident II+/III).

Numbers are limited around 20/25 or so, and will confirm later.

Update on price (from $30 flat rate) :

Kayaking $15

Rafting $40

Camping/night $8

This is to reflect both my misunderstanding with camp fees and a revised rafting fee structure.
