As we begin to prepare for the new academic year and all the amazing sessions we have planned, we wanted to take a moment to say goodbye, good luck and thank you to all our graduates from this year! They’ve all helped make the club what it is today and we wish them the best in their future adventures. We hope to see you all at reunion in a couple years!

Swipe to see some of our happy graduates and some memories from their time in the club :)

This was our second year running our Wye trip and it was just as successful!
Here’s a video recap of the fun we had both on and off the river, there were smiles and laughter the whole time, rain or shine.
This trip is open to everyone, and is often the first trip some of our newer members go on. It is also a fun introduction into camping for a lot of our members.
See something you think you’d enjoy? It’s less than 2 months until we are back in Durham for freshers week! In the meantime if you have any questions, send us a DM, we’d love to hear from you :)

DUCC has just spent the best part of 2 weeks in the sunny French alps. Here is the photo dump.

To burn off the excessive amount of baguette and Sangria we usually ran 3 sections a day, including:

✅️ Briancon gorge
✅️ Upper Guil
✅️ Château Queyras
✅️ Middle Guil
✅️ Guardian Angel Gorge
✅️ Middle Ubaye
✅️ Fresquiere
✅️ Ubaye Racecourse
✅️ Ubaye Gorge
✅️ Upper Guisane
✅️ Lower Guisane
✅️ Gyr
✅️ Gyronde
✅️ Sunshine run
✅️ Veneon

For some of us, however, this wasn't enough paddling, and we then went to Austria for a week.

BUCS CANOE POLO 2026:
Back in April DUCC delivered a strong performance at the annual inter-university canoe polo tournament in Nottingham. Our men’s team ‘locked in’ and finished in 5th place out of 25 teams, our best men’s polo result for several years. This included spectacular wins against Loughborough, Swansea, Cardiff and Oxford Our fresher-heavy women’s team delivered very convincing performances throughout and finished in a respectable 17th place, with a particularly dramatic golden goal win against Birmingham. Well done also to three team members who completed their level 1 polo referee course and put their knowledge to use during the tournament. An enjoyable weekend all round, well done all! Team Durham

One of the coolest places we've been in our kayaks, the Chateau Queyras gorge. .durham
