Join us on the Royal Military Canal for a gentle paddle starting from Hamstreet. We will decide which direction to paddle in on the day, as it is wind dependent. Sunset is approx 7.20pm.
We will meet at the bridge crossing Marsh road in Hamstreet. Location found here - https://what3words.com/refilled.pinging.erupt
If you do not have a boat, please park opposite the Garden Centre as this will free up space by the get in.
We will be on the water for around 1.5 hours, so don't forget a drink and/or snack.
This trip suits all members who can paddle in a straight line for 50m and self-rescue*.
One final note, there are no public toilets at Hamstreet, so please "GO" before you arrive. This also means that it will be alfresco changing facilities.
