Please log your trips

Recording new hazards (like big logs!), changes to the river and suitable flows makes it safer for everyone.

Social media is great - but posts are easy to loose and at the whim of the algorithm.  A report on the trip you've done stays exactly where it is, and gets found easily by those who follow in your footsteps.

To log a trip, just scroll down to the end of the trip page!

If you've done a fun trip and want to share it with everyone, then please get in touch.

You don't need tech skills - just a few photos and a couple of emails or a voicemail, and I'll do all the rest...
