This 2.5hr hour guided tour led by a Paddle UK Leader sets off from Crookham Wharf, where you'll find a free carpark and small picnic area. We’ll start with a basic equipment, safety and skills refresher to ensure everyone can remember how to launch bankside, paddle forwards, turn, stop and stand up.
We'll then take in some beautiful canal side properties, rural countryside and nature and navigate a fun yet achievable low limbo swing bridge, with a pause for refreshments at Fox & Hounds Pub (bring money or a card!) before returning back to the start.
This is a beginner friendly tour through to intermediates perfect for those who have had a break over winter and are looking to build confidence, speed, stamina and improve skills, it is an experience that will help improve your technique while making great memories and meeting likeminded people.
