2014 event at Pinkston

Post by James Hastings » Mon Aug 05, 2013 12:41 pm

I notice that in the provisional 2014 calendar there is a div 2/3 race at a place called Pinkston. Anyone know where this is?

Cheers,
James

Pinkston Paddlesport Centr is at the Glasgow end of the Forth-Clyde canal; junction 15 of the M8 from memory.
A new facility is under construction for flat-water and white water.
There's a fait bit of information available; google Pinkston etc.

Thanks Bankside. Unfortunately will probably not be able to make it as the Glasgow area is a bit far to go from London.

Cheers,
James

Shame.
It will be the opening slalom event for Glasgow.
Still, you can always go to Lee Valley!

Hopefully not - Stirling & Falkirk CC & CR CATS are hoping to run one of the Winter Series rounds there this year - possibly just before Christmas, so non paddlers can go Christmas Shopping in Glasgow :D

Watch canoeslalom.co.uk for details!
