Not sure who or how many will get this email. but if you one of the lucky ones here's the plan.
Planning on paddling the lower Taieri this Saturday 24-10-09. Putting in above the pipe line rapid & paddling down to Outram. This is a grade 3 section. The tricky sections can be walked but you should be comfortable on a 2+ rapid. Approx 3hrs of paddling River flow approx 18cumes so nice an gentle Forecast is warm& sunny.
Meeting at Outram Glen at 11am & should be off the water before 4pm. If you need transport from town let me know

Anyone interested in paddling the upper section of the taieri this saturday. Looking at doing the run from Tiroiti to Hyde. This is a simple grade two, current flow is 30cumes so should be good run. Can combine with cycle ride back to cars on the rail trail. Will be heading up on saturday morning & back that afternoon.
Let me know if keen

Just a reminder there is a club trip to the skippers (upper shotover G2+) in December. This is one of the best runs in Otago and a neat place just to hangout or explore. Currently planned for the 4th and 5th however those that can are welcome to join us & leave early on Friday thus getting 3 days on the river. Also may look at doing the Dog leg section on the way home (G3).
Please advise early if interested, If the forecast is bad we will look at shifting to the following weekend?

Looking at paddling the lower Taieri this weekend most likely Saturday but can be Sunday if needed be. Putting in above the pipe line rapid & paddling down to Outram. This is a grade 3 section. Approx 3 to 4 hrs of paddling River flow approx 80cumes so could be a bit pushy. So you need to be comfortable on G3 to run it at this flow.
If interested please contact me to confirm meeting place & time.

I'm Keen on Taieri. but the usual meeting time of 10 on Saturday wont suit as I have patients in the clinic until 11am. I could head out at 11 and meet you all at the get in by about 11.20 if that's ok. so maybe meet at Outram glenn at 10.30? Also The Southland canoe Club is running Beaumont on the Saturday. not sure on the flow at the mo but its a boily gd 2 From memory, I dont have Graham Charles Book at work to check. i have spoken to MikeClark the president and while he is not going he said other paddler are welcome. They are meeting at the Beaumont Bridge at 10.30 saturday so there is another option for anyone wanting an easier trip

Final reminder for the Clutha trip this Sunday 20th Nov
Beaumont Day trip G2. For those that have not gotten wet yet, this is a good way to kick the season off. So come & join me on the Clutha river at Beaumont for a day trip this Sunday the 20th Nov. Plan is to meet at the Concord Inn at 8:15 am car pool and leave at 8:30am. Travel to Beaumont & run the lower section which is a grade 2 section on a high volume river. This section is suitable for experienced beginners and the more experienced paddlers as you can always test your self in the whirl pools & boils. If time permits we will attempt to run it twice. As this gives you a second chance to catch those waves that you missed first time round.
Partners or friends may wish to come along and bike the Millium track which runs along side the river.
If interested contact
