RMOP has been “live” for a good few months now, and we thought it would be appropriate to say some thank yous to the people who have helped and supported us through our first year or so of trading! In no order, and apologies to anyone not specifically mentioned…

It’s been a great start, and hopefully more exciting things to come!

Huge shout out to everyone at Friends of Durham Uni Canoe Club who orchestrated a fantastic race last weekend at the Washburn. Organising the largest wildwater race in the country would be no mean feat by itself, never mind all the catering, camping, bars and partying which went on!

Rockmonkey Outdoor Pursuits were delighted to be providing the safety cover and logistics support for the race. The safety team headed up by Will did an amazing job all weekend, from start of practice to close of play on Sunday they were constantly on the mark ensuring any swims were as short as possible. We also play a large part in general event support and provide our vehicles and manpower for the event.

Events like this don’t work without the efforts of all the volunteers, and Rockmonkey Outdoor Pursuits are proud that we were able to work with such a dedicated and experienced group of safety marshalls.

We are already making plans to make next years event even bigger and better and we look forward to seeing you there!

As you may have seen on our website we are working with the Friends of Durham University Canoe Club to provide safety cover for this years BUCS Wildwater Race.  If you are competing then do come down to the main drop on the Washburn where our team will be hanging out for most of the weekend.  Come and say hello!

Thanks for visiting our new blog, seems everyone is doing it nowadays so we thought we’d join the party at Monkey HQ.  This blog will become a place for news on upcoming trips as well as reports and photos from stuff we’ve already done!  Anyone on a Rockmonkey course or trip will be invited to publish onto the blog so there should be a host of content on its way!
