River Allen 22nd Feb

"The Gem of the North East"

I've been at uni coming up to 3 years now and have only paddled this river twice, and one of these times was when I wasn't even at uni.
SO. Since Neevs up and wants to do some boating, does anyone fancy the Allen this Sunday?

And if its raining harder than predicted...Swale anyone?
I know the poloers have a match on Saturday but why not follow it by a paddle on Sunday?

Does anyone know if theres still snow in the hills? May be lucky and get some snow melt...
If not, any backup plans? I guess Tynemouth is always an option...

Though not looking too special either. Tyne again?? Or can anyone think of anything a bit more adventurous..?

i'm up for that. never paddled the Allen before..

bollocks...I didnt even know thisa was happening. This is what happens when your interweb dont work.

don't worry mate - there was no water. or surf. but a sea paddle was quite fun.
