Please adhere to the following points to minimise disruption to residents and help us to maintain a positive relationship with residents.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe club has only two allocated parking spaces (in front of the clubhouse) which are used during coached sessions for getting boats in and out. \u003cstrong\u003eWhen these spaces are full or during coaching sessions please park away from the mill complex \u003c/strong\u003e(you can drop boats etc off, but please take your car to one of the car parks nearby). Do not park in or block resident’s spaces. Note that the mill area is now permit parking only, so vehicles may be ticketed if parked here.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvoid leaving boats and equipment where they obstruct access to people’s flats – particularly upstairs outside club, outside the flat by the changing rooms (including leaning paddles up against the windows and walls), and in the yard between the wooden gate and the access bridge. Also please take care carrying boats past cars, juniors should be assisted by parents/others.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhite Water Course\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Description:\u003c/strong\u003e The Course is made up of a weir and 4 artificial drops and pools, it provides for a good introduction to white water (grade 2), play boating or slalom practice.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrading:\u003c/strong\u003e Generally grade II but could be considered grade III when the water level is high.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Level Indicators: \u003c/strong\u003eThe course is paddlable in all but extreme high water. At low levels it can still be paddled with a slight scrape on the drops.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe water level is best gauged from the weir at the top of the course and the get off steps – see the \u003ca href=\u0022https://www.halifaxcanoe.org.uk/club-policies/\u0022\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/a\u003eClub\u0027s\u0026nbsp;Home Waters Risk Assessment \u0026 Operating Procedures\u0026nbsp;and River Conditions examples (see \u003ca href=\u0022https://www.halifaxcanoe.org.uk/Cms/Spaces/POLICIES/Club+Policies\u0022\u003ePolicies\u003c/a\u003e)\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most important thing is that when the water level is high you \u003cstrong\u003emust\u003c/strong\u003e be able to egress by the metal steps at the bottom of the course to get out! If not, at high levels there is no other get off before the \u003cstrong\u003enext weir (approx 500m downstream) which is dangerous in high water – a wall to wall canoe-gobbler, with no possible portage or place to rescue at those levels. \u003c/strong\u003eAlso some of the lower slalom wires start to become a hazard at higher levels! However, the white water course does become washed out\u0026nbsp;at these higher levels, so better paddling can be found elsewhere.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePut In: \u003c/strong\u003eThis is near to the Club, through other residents’ land for which we have access rights. The put in is through the brown gates with sign saying “No Public Right Of Way” and over the footbridge to the launch area. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease be respectful of residents when passing through this area and \u003c/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emake sure the gate is closed behind you.\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet Out:\u003c/strong\u003e The take out is at the bottom of course, up the metal steps into the mill complex (see the note above and check you can get off before you get on).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHazards / Falls: \u003c/strong\u003eThe top weir drop has a small tow back which can unseat the\u0026nbsp;inexperienced and unwary – this is worst in low to medium levels, Also teh face of the weir drop is slightly undercut. Debris washed down by floods can be an occasional problem across the drops, and sometimes slalom wires can come down and be in the water until we get chance to remove them. \u003cstrong\u003eMost importantly\u003c/strong\u003e – you must be able to beach and get out at the metal steps when levels are high (see above).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccess Situation:\u003c/strong\u003e No problems providing you are respectful of residents on the site.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVisiting Paddlers:\u003c/strong\u003e There is no charge for paddlers playing on the course. All we ask is that you respect the local residents and keep to the guidance above regarding parking and access. For larger groups, in order to minimise the disruption to residents we may be able to arrange for a club member to meet you and give access to changing facilities with showers. Regular paddlers to the course are encouraged to join the club and contribute to Club life.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease report any problems on the white water course or queries to our \u003ca href=\u0022mailto:environment@halifaxcanoe.org.uk\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener\u0022\u003eAccess \u0026 Environment Officer\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer: Canoeing and Kayaking are ‘assumed risk’ – ‘water contact sports’ that may carry attendant risks.
