West Cumbria Canoe Club
West Cumbria Canoe Club is open to anyone who canoes or kayaks, and anyone who is new to the sport and would like to have a go.
We welcome canoeists and kayakers of all types and of all abilities. Our members enjoy anything that involves “messing about in boats”… including white water kayaking and canoeing, sea kayaking, canoe touring and camping, racing, and pottering about on lakes.
We meet every Wednesday evening – at Derwent Water Marina during the summer and at Keswick Leisure Pool in the winter. West Cumbria Canoe Club
