I agree with Christian.

Hi.

Closest EC listing is Bancroft, see below. It is essentially the same forecast as Ottawa and Petawawa: 40% chance of precipitation all weekend, around 28 C.

I say let's wait--changing the date of the event is of course possible but this should be discussed tomorrow at the pub, say...

Mix of sun and passing rain for Ottawa. I'd suggest having the Palmer's weekend moved to another weekend and do a local run either Saturday or Sunday. Just a suggestion.

Weather still calls for 40% chance of precipitations, but since it'll be rather warm I still think of going Friday. Somewhere in my garage is a camping canopy...

80% for Saturday and 90% for Sunday in Madawaska.

Is it cancelled if it's supposed to rain? Or pushed to another weekend? I know things can change but right now they're calling for 10-15 mm of rain for both Saturday and Sunday in Madawaska. Ok for paddling but not fun for camping.

Yep sorry about that.

Is there a map to the Jessops campground for those of us who have never been there?

This thread will be for people to organise rides etc for the weekend.

I will be bringing both my playboat and my creeker. I will be going up friday night and staying until Sunday.

Hopefully we can organise a trip down the madawaska for sunday. Also maybe set up some kind of an informal clinic for saturday!

Here is some info on the Lower Madawaska run, its a great 2-3 run, suitable for all levels of paddlers. http://www.whitewaterontario.ca/rivers/index.php/Madawaska_River_Lower

And here is some level info for the river as well: http://wateroffice.ec.gc.ca/report/report_e.html?type=realTime&stn=02KD004

If it can hold around 100 it should be at a good level!
