North West Weekend Guide
Clitheroe
Canoe Club will once again be organising the North West Weekend
for 2006. After much consideration, we have decided to change the
venue for this year's event which will now take place at:
The
Nene Whitewater Centre, Bedford Road, Northampton,NN4 7AA

Some of the prize winners from 2005
The
move to the Nene is hoped to make the event more attractive to novice
and improver whitewater paddlers as well as the more experienced
paddlers. The features at the Nene, whilst offering the experienced
paddlers sufficient to keep them amply entertained, are forgiving
enough to give novice and young paddlers an excellent and positive
whitewater experience.
Unlike
the Tees barrage, the Nene is controlled by a series of pumps, therefore
we will not be restricted to tidal release times, and throughout
the weekend, paddling will not be interrupted by the appearance
of rafts. Paddling on Saturday will start at 1.30pm, in order
to allow people who choose not to stay at the site sufficient travelling
time.
