Patrick Kelly (472-2322, patrick.kelly@dal.ca) will be leading this  
trip. The Herbert River is fairly easy with lots of water at this time  
of the year, and it covers a great variety of terrain. There may be  
spots where it is running a bit faster, or where there are new  
obstructions from the trees, etc. that have come down over the winter,  
so we may have to wade in a few places, if necessary, or stop to scout  
out a bend. The trip will be four to five hours long, depending on our  
pace. Bring life jackets, canoe or kayak, and paddles.

If you have access to a life jacket but not a canoe, there will likely  
be extra room in one of the canoes. Check with the leader to be sure.  
(Actually, since the leader has a two-person canoe, at least one extra  
person would make his life a lot easier!)

Meet at the Newport rink parking lot at 9:30 a.m. Take Exit 5 from  
Highway 101 and follow Highway 14 east for about 10 km to the village  
of Brooklyn. At the cenotaph, keep left and follow Highway 14 north  
for just under 1 km. At the intersection (Petro-Canada station),  
Highway 14 turns right. Continue straight on Highway 215 (Note the  
YIELD sign. you do NOT have the right of way!) The rink is on the  
right as soon as you exit the intersection. We will be leaving some  
cars there as we will actually be putting into the river farther  
upstream.
