Paddling gear info session

Organiser Michael Clark

Trip leader contact mjc.clarkspark@gmail.com

Time: 6:30 onwards

Destination: Melbourne Uni Mountaineering Clubrooms

Approx cost: FREE

This will be the first of a series of info nights/theory sessions about various aspects of paddling that will be run over the next few months. 

MUMC will be hosting us at their clubrooms in the city - located here https://maps.app.goo.gl/9KMap2sn8yY8kDGS9

This session will be focused around the equipment that is used for paddling trips, in order to help people better understand what they will be using when on trips. It is designed to cover a range of experience levels, so will provide useful info for both people who have never been paddling before, and also those who are wanting to start upskilling to be able to help organising and leading trips. 

It will be focused in 5 main areas:

  1. Personal Paddling Equipment
  2. PPE
  3. Boats
  4. Boating gear
  5. Safety/rescue gear

Feel free to get in touch if you have any queries. There may be some ability to share parts via zoom, but it is best done in person so you can actually handle examples of various types of gear.

Cheers
Michael
