Afternoon Chill Paddle

NOTE: The river level has the potential to a little high at this time of year so sessions may be called off last minute. Please keep an eye on the group chat.

The usual relaxed Wednesday session! Open to all with beginners especially welcome, this is simply a really chill couple of hours on the river. If you want to get into kayaking or simply have a fun afternoon session on the river this is the session for you! 

Please bring a fleece to wear on the water, spare shoes, plenty of spare clothes, and a towel. It is best to avoid jeans on the water as these shrink when wet.
