Gyrodactylus Salaris - a water borne parasite - is of increasing concern in Europe and, if it made its way into Scottish waters, would have the potential to devastate salmon fisheries in the country.

Please take a few minutes to read our interim guidance note to ensure that, as a club, we help to keep this parasite out of our rivers.

ICC OPEN DAY 2010

Loch Achilty - 12.30pm 7th August 2010

ICC would like to invite you to our open day at Loch Achilty, by Contin. The open day is a great opportunity for one and all to come and find out about the club, what we're about and to try out different kinds of kayaks and canoes.

There will be demos, come-and-try sessions and talks on a variety of types of craft...there will also be a BBQ on the go; so bring along some food!

For those who want to go out on the water, remember to take the appropriate clothing and a warm set of clothes to change into after.

We look forward to seeing you there - BRING YOUR FRIENDS!

Sunday 25 July saw the annual Ness Marathon take place. The event is one of four in the Highland Marathon Series as is organised by Inverness Canoe Club's Steve Mackinnon in association with the SCA.

After a week of heavy rain, the sun came out and made it a fantastic day for all involved. Club members, as well as folk from further afield (incl. Kirkcady, Linlithgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen), swarmed to Inverness to take part.

Such was the enthusiasm, that new records were set in a number of catogories:

Many thanks, as ever, go to Steve Mackinnon for organising the event and making it such a success.

Malcolm Wield will be running two canoe trips for less experienced club canoe paddlers on consecutive Sunday's in August. 
 
The trips will each be Grade 2 and be dependant on enough water in the rivers. They are full day trips, but should be all done by 4pm ish. Meeting 0930 at the Scout Hut both days.
 
The trip on the 15th will be on the River Conon from Achilty Dam to Conon Bridge. The trip on the 22nd will be on the bottom section of the River Findhorn from Mains of Sluie to near the A96. Preference on this trip will be given to those on the first trip or slightly more experienced paddlers as it is a little bit more technical and certainly more strenuous.
 
Both trips are stunning, canoe river touring in the Highlands at it's best!
 
The trips are limited to a max of 4 boats running as tandems. That is 8 places available. If you need club boats/kit you will need to arrange to book them out via the on-line booking system yourself.
 
Please let Malc know if you would like to go and if you can transport a boat on your car: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  or 07833 681730.
