Portaging:
When portaging, paddlers in the u14s/u12s classes (15/16/21) must get out at the main landing stage & not enter Southmill Lock.
As stated in the Winter Series Rules, paddlers may receive assistance at portages if they need it (typically u14s/u12s, and Paddle-Ability paddlers), but
  • helpers must walk only, carrying only the rear end of the boat
  • assisted competitors must give way to unassisted competitors
  • parents/supporters must not crowd the portage or enable their paddlers to queue-jump
  • helpers must use safe lifting & handling techniques - involvement is at your own risk
Team Leaders who have queries about assistance with regard to particular team members should speak to the Race Organiser about it in advance.
