Waiting for the rain...?
So are we! After having a look at the long term forecast the 2011 Capel Descent will be postponed until the end of Winter, as we are unlikely to have enough water in the Capel River to make the event viable for June. The event is designed to encourage new people into the sport, so we have endeavoured to slot neatly between the surf season and the kayaking season. We will continue to do this but due to the lack of forecast rain, Capel Descent 2011 aims to slot in around the end of August, start of September. The new date will be confirmed shortly. Because we have done this, of course, we can expect a sudden and torrential downpour, starting tomorrow, which will last until 6am on the 19th June giving us ideal conditions had we gone ahead with our original date. I will be paddling in the Capel River on that day, just to see what it would have been like. Fifteen kilometres through a winding river, weir, river mouth and winter surf conditions, the Capel Descent is not a marathon, but it’s no walk in the park, either. It will test your skills as an ocean or river paddler, and maybe even throw you a few challenges along the way.
