Alps
Concerns about AU cars?
A few breakdowns in past few weeks
However - Venga, White, Navy all consistent. Should be fine.
Enough private cars too.
Concerns about danger/scariness to Freshers
Current Freshers already at further level than Freshers who went last year
Slovenia: Grade 2/3, but take half a Grade off. Mostly beginner paddling.
France: Grade 3/4/5. Mostly leader paddling.
However - flexible. Multiple cars, activities, plans.
Experts such as Dre will be there to ensure nobody paddles anything above their level.
Final decision needs to be made.
Risk vs Reward
SL - rivers will be chosen carefully, and you can do 2 in one day
CD - didn't feel pressured into doing anything above level; similar difficulty can be found in Scotland
Numbers of cars?
3 cars at a time - what happens if one breaks down?
Particular consequences if AU vehicle
However, damage to private cars would still be charged to trip - would damage to AU cars be charged to club?
Spreadsheet to be drawn up w/ as much trip info as possible
We need definites.
