General Paddling Talk / River trip for beginner?
« on: July 07, 2016, 07:53:10 AM »
Hi All,
I Recently brought a secondhand Kayak for a bit of a taster to see if I enjoy time out on the water as i'm usually on two wheels. Its a Riot Kayak Quest 10. I've been out on LBG and Googong dam a few times but would like to broaden my horizons and maybe do a river section.
Looking for recommendations for this weekend, ideally within Canberra region and with a paddle time of 2hrs or so. I appreciate with recent rainfalls, some of the rivers are high and may not be good for a beginner, but also thinking some sections might be passable with higher levels that normally aren't. Would be good to include some basic rapids if possible and fairly safe?
I would be Kayaking with a mate and we both have the same Kayak and experience.
Look forward to your suggestions
Cheers
Matt
