This annual event is referred to as Bob's Open Canoe Weekend after a much loved club member Bob Ottley. As usual there will be a varied programme of skill development (equivalent BC Discover to Open Canoe Award levels) and scenic paddles along the Jurassic coast. It is also a great way to make and renew friendships in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
The event starts at 17:00hrs, Friday 28th June and finishes at 16:00hrs Sunday 30th June 2024 and is based at Axmouth Campsite in Devon - camping facilities are available. You can arrive on Friday evening or early Saturday morning ready for the 09:00 start on Saturday.
We have arranged for the separate camping field as usual at Axmouth Camping Site, which is located on the side of the estuary at Axmouth, and gives direct access to the water when the tide permits. The full Axe Vale Canoe Club facilities will also be available for use with courses and trips. These facilities are also used when the tide prohibits access at the site. The site accepts caravans, motorhomes and tents, however power is only available in the main field; there are toilets, showers, laundry and shop on site. Please read the Campsite Rules in the Information Leaflet.
