Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race – April 2011

Posted on April 9, 2011 by Ron

As the last few packed up their canoes and headed home, some, like John, began their dry-land training in earnest!

I think that a fun day was had by all and now it is time to look forward to the more leisurely excursion through the fen that is organized each year by the Friends of the Jock River. Usually about the end of April. No date has been set yet since the event is somewhat weather dependent. Friends of the Jock River

UPDATE: Friends of the Jock River excursions into the fen will take place this year on Sunday, May 1st and Thursday, May 5th. Meet at the end of Joy’s Road past the Centennial Golf Course in Richmond, Ontario at 12:00 noon for departure at 12:30PM on either day. Not required to be a member of the group to join the excursion but I would advise you to get on Brian Finch’s e-mail list in case weather conditions force a change in plans.

I also came home with a pamphlet from the YCCC group (Y Canoe Camping Club) so who knows where my canoe or kayak (and camera) might pop up next!

UPDATE: March 31, 2012 – The 2012 race is now over and uploading of the photos from that event has begun. View here: 2012 Upper Jock River Canoe and Kayak Race

    Hi Ron, thanks again for your help along the shore near the finish line. Do you sell copies of the photos? (interested in the two close ups headed into shore)

      The short answer is “Yes .”
      The slightly longer answer is ” Yes, I can, but since we don’t have the website set up for retail ordering and payment, we’ll need to use e-mail instead.”
      My e-mail is shutterNclick (at) bell.net.
