Some positive points for having a car park at Armathwaite. 1. Safe off road parking for canoe clubs and small groups who are running the river Eden - from Lazonby to Armathwaite or Armathwaite down stream. 2. Prevents congestion on Village roadside with cars 3. Prevents the Armathwaite bridge being cluttered with vehicles and causing an emergency vehicle to be delayed in crossing the bridge in an emergency. 4. Often vehicles - cars and vans - are parked for much of the day on the roadside and can now be parked sensibly in a car park - reducing roadside cluttering. 5. The car park is ideally situated for watersport users to access and egress the river Eden, directly into a car park and not along the footpath onto the bridge, then a pavement or road side to access their parked vehicles. 6. It just makes sense to provide for the welcomed visitors of Armathwaite. 7. Cumbria Canoeists is in partnership with Eden Rivers Trust to create an access/egress point, just below Armathwaite bridge, which will link directly into the car park from the river bank.

Cumbria Canoeists set up much needed outdoor canoe polo venue in South Lakes and Lancaster14/6/2023 Cumbria Canoeists (with help from British Canoeing) have set up a much needed outdoor canoe polo venue at Killington Lake in South Lakes. The new venue will be used to run canoe polo coaching courses, referee courses, local friendly club tournaments and training sessions. We aim to establish a regional Div 1 and 2 team which local clubs can feed into. In addition, the venue can be used by local clubs to run their own activities. In order to further develop this new exciting venue, Cumbria Canoeists will be applying for a Sport England grant to raise money to build up our kit supplies to support the venue.If any local businesses are interested in supporting this please contact Chris Archer at: [email protected] Any donations are gratefully welcomed.
From Tuesday 27th June, we’ll be running weekly beginner sessions running from 18:30 til 19:30 every week. No previous paddling experience is needed, all kit will be provided and your first session is free. Due to insurance reasons, you need to be 11 or older to attend. Canoe polo is a really funsport and a great way to get into kayaking. If you would like more information please contact Matt Carter: [email protected] |
