The start time is pencilled in for 9:30 (to avoid traffic jams with the canoe club), with a paddler briefing at 9:15. The meeting point is the free carpark at Newton Park, next to Burton Canoe Club. The course is 5km in total, heading upstream through Stapenhill for 2.5km, and then back. The river levels are still very variable, so we’ll be monitoring the levels closely. We’ll be checking the gauges on Saturday evening, with a final eyeball confirmation on Sunday morning.
