Club trips:
All club trips are for Arawa Canoe Club members only, all start on the water at 1000. Arawa is the co- ordinator only, the club takes no responsibility for anyone who takes part in the trips. You go on the trip entirely at your own risk. There will be no instruction and no guarantee of rescue – you must be able, and will be expected, to look after yourself.
All distances are approximate – take a GPS if you would like to get it right next time.
If you have any corrections or events you want to add, contact the Media wonk.
