Was just wanting to put this up and see the intrest people have in heading back to the alps in the summer.
This is not to find exact numbers but just to try and get things started.

As a few of you know, sadly I am out this year as I am still in UUUUUNAAAAAYYY! boo hoo. But if you are interested have a word with any of the guy who were out last year (like myself) and I think they will all tell you it some of the best paddling you will do and improves your paddling massively. It is some of the best water I have paddled on.
The usual idea is to head down for a fornight in the first weeks of june (ish) it thats when the best water tends to be. We go to the french alps near a town called briancon. We drive it so we can get boats down easily and it tends to be cheaper. I think it cost about £350 in all give or take a clutch last year but if I will be corrected if I am way out.
Thats only a rough plan as its not my place to sort out if I am not going. What they need from you now is to know if you are interest, regardless of experience. And they need to know if you can drive, so just post here.
I just would like to see an alps trip go ahead this year.
hope that helps anyone who was in the dark
love
a disappointed rich!

Hello Dunno if I can make it in June. We get set holidays this year and I dont think mine are then. Does anyone fancy going to Uganda in August tho. That could be fun. We could get a few folk together from a bunch of different Unis and have a big African party.

I know I am not going to the alps but was wondering if there was anybody that had set any plans in motion to go this summer? Or is nobody going out this summer?
