What you've all been waiting for 2nd Race this coming Sunday and the weir is back to summer levels (but the temperature is not ).
Course up by Saturday afternoon.
Event starts 12 noon Sunday.
See you there.

For all those who have not been to our site before, this is the best postcode to head for PE2 7DZ the post in the initial post is the closest to the campsite, but if you are camping still come to PE2 7DZ first to pick up the key for the gate. Because we get 90% of our entries on the day, I have no s...

40 years of slalom! This special occasion must be celebrated by 40 timed runs around the course. So that’s 20 C2 entries please, don’t think that will qualify for a multiclass discount though as its only one class. Special dispensation to take creaking bones into account we will let you have 10 entr...

We have some lost property from the weekend.

A waterproof and a blue folding chair left by judging position A.
In the men's changing a cag with a K1 & C1 deck & a thermal folded up inside it.
A sd memory card.

Contact me if you have lost these items.

Water conditions are good, nice wave on the main weir and the side shoots are closed so NOOOOOOOOOOO nasty boils

Course will be up by 2 ish Friday afternoon and open for free practice till your arms drop off.

See you all at the weekend.

A very vague start list as we never know how many people to cater for, as 90% of our entries are on the day. The course will be up by Friday afternoon. Saturday: Free Practice upto 9 oclock then organised practice, till the start of the event. We will take entries upto 11 oclock. The event will star...

For what its worth here’s my experiences. Since starting back racing approx 3 years ago, I’ve had 2 bouts of Tennis / Golfers elbow that have stopped me paddling. So first off find yourself a sports physio. Both times I have had this I have had to stop paddling for a while, the first time was for 3 ...

OK the course is up, however it is very likely to change.
The heavy rain from Thursday night & Friday morning hasn't been very kind to us, but the river is dropping now, so we will have to make some adjustments first thing tomorrow morning.

See you tomorrrow

This weekend sees the return of the famous Peterborough (Orton Mere) Winter slaloms. A fun event, open to all ages, classes and divisions. Relaxed atmosphere, course up by Saturday PM. Sunday practice from as soon as you want to get there till we start around noon. River levels dropping fast (we now...

Thanks Manchester and all the usual helpers (section judges doing King Canute impressions sat or stood on rocky outcrops surrounded by water) an excellent event.

Dave can you please pre book the same river conditions for next year.

With current water conditions we cannot guarantee being able to run a safe event. Additionally with the Met Office issuing weather warnings for the East of England for Friday & Saturday conditions are only likely to worsen. It is with regret we have decided to cancel the event. Anybody who has sent ...
