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!
