Re: RIVER CALDER (Sowerby Bridge Whitewater Course to Brighouse)
You may be aware that Puzzle Weir upstream of Halifax Canoe Club's site (also know as Hollins Mill Weir) started to collapse a few years ago. Recent floods have furthered the collapse of the face of the weir making it seriously dangerous at the moment. To be clear, heading upstream from Halifax Cano...

Re: Pool Sessions - qualifications?
We run our sessions in the council pool and have a long standing relationship with them, and provide our own poolside safety cover. Although I think the pool has similar arrangements with the swimming clubs that use the pool to provide their own safety cover. Sessions are run by club coaches. In add...

The V-shaped weir you refer to is definately runnable, although as it a vertical drop you'd probably want to give it a miss in high water. having said that we have had some-one from the club stuck in it at medium water levels - and as its walled in, getting them out is tricky! I've always run it riv...
