I just learned of this so apologies for the short notice:
What: Topics will include trip planning, equipment
checklists with required and recommended equipment, float plans,
distress communications, garment layering combinations for cold weather
paddling through the seasons, hypothermia...
When: Weds Night, November 30th, 6 PM
Where: Appomattox River Company's Kiln Creek (Yorktown VA) store
(directions and more at http://www.paddleva.com/penstore)
Who: Instruction by Vic Sorensen (Traditional Paddle Skills
Instructor). This is open to the public.
There also is a 10% discount at the store during the clinic. Full
details at http://www.paddleva.com/demodays.htm. There is another
session on signaling and survival equipment on Dec 14th.
I should note that this isn't an event organized by HRAdventure or
affiliated with us (although ARC is one of our sponsors), so the
conversation won't be adventure race specific. Too bad this
clinic wasn't run in October prior to the Storm the Eastern Shore
Adventure Race!
