Canoeing and kayaking is run on Thursday nights at the Districts’ Campsite and 25th Warrington East (St Wilfrid’s) Scout Group venue, Church Lane, Grappenhall, Warrington. The venue being in the quaint cobble stone village. Access to the site is down the driveway between the Parr Arms pub and white house which leads down the side of the church graveyard.
-
Canoeing starts at 7pm until 9.30pm or earlier if dark, the season finishing when the evening light fails.
-
Please do note there is limited parking at the entrance to the campsite so it maybe easier for parents if older members are dropped off on Church Lane and collected later. Parents may wish to note there are two excellent hostelries in the village i.e. the Parr Arms and Rams Head providing good meals and refreshments. Parents must not actually drive through the gates at the bottom of the drive on to the 25th / campsite as that has very limited parking.
-
Weekly subs are Ł1.50 payable on arrival Award fees and logbooks are payable separately.
-
You are advised to shower after canoeing and not to eat until you have washed your hands. Cover open cuts with waterproof plasters. We have access to the toilets in the 25th Scout HQ. We expect no Scouts to enter the building in a dripping wet state. If you are wet through remove the bulk of wet clothing outside the building. When changing please ensure decency is maintained, ideally arrive ready to paddle with dry clothes in your waterproof bag.
