Paddling gear info session

Organiser Michael Clark

Trip leader contact mjc.clarkspark@gmail.com

Time: 7:30pm 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 to help newer people to the activity learn about what gear they may need to have, or collect from the club. 

It will be focused in 4 main areas:

  1. Personal Paddling Equipment
  2. PPE
  3. Boats
  4. Boating gear

This will also be useful for people who are interested in learning to help lead trips in the future to ensure that they have a good understanding of the basics of paddling gear, with a separate session going into more detail and also covering rescue/recovery gear to follow.

Feel free to get in touch if you have any queries.

Cheers
Michael
