Aire Waves
Leeds Canoe Club Blog. We paddle... lots!
Airewaves used to be Leeds Canoe Club's magazine letting people know what the club was upto. Its quite hard work pulling together a publication letting people know what the club is doing and publishing dates in advance is always hard as things tend to change. Step forth the blog.. Push button publishing for the masses. So here is the idea a few people in the club take it in turns to write up trips and talk about things in the club.
Wednesday, November 08, 2006LCC - Vancouver Branch - Seymour River
Hello from Vancouver eh? After a month of amazing weather Autumn and Winter seem to have arrived at the same time. There has been snow in the Ineterior of Canada but this weekend in Vancouver it rained and it rained. The local rivers all came up and up. The Seymour in this video is normally a grade 2 and the lesser of the local rivers in North Vancouver. The two other rivers to run in North Vancouver are the Capilano and the Lynn. On saturday we met up with a few of the local paddlers as they paddled on the Seymour Pipeline wave. The pipe line is a wave that comes up when the Seymour floods and when the tide is low. I got to paddle down the Seymour once it had dropped a few feet on the Sunday. The get on was a large pool just beneath the booming grade 5 canyon above. Trees line the run much like the Sanna in Austria, its an amazing run considering how close to the city you are. The paddle was pretty fast about 30 minutes to cover 4 miles or so. Apparently the white water season doesn't actually start till the spring when the snow melts and the dams release but we are in the process of buying boats now that our kit from the UK has arrived. Hopefully we'll be able to paddle through the winter. If not then I expect we'll be off snowboarding!
Hope everyone is well and we'll let you know what paddling in BC is all a'boot.
