    Vauxhall/Battersea and back trip - 27th September (saturday)

    Anyone fancy a re-run of the sucessful paddle ealier in the year?

    The plan would be to paddle up to Vauxhall bridge, get out at the Duck Bus ramp, grab lunch at the cafe, and to head back once the tide has turned. We estimated 2 hours each way last time and we ended up paddling further up to battersea powerstation and back to Vauxhall bridge against the remaining tide.

    The 27th September isn't a spring tide but the turn is at 1pm so perfect for a trip

    Suggested times are meet at 10am to be on the water at 11am. 2 hours trip to arrive at vauxhall at 1pm. 2 hours of lunch, witty banter and embarrising stories about Sean's driving, then back on the water 3pm to catch the goodly bit of the tide back - the tide should be at its highest flow between 4 and 5 making our last bit easy.

    Fancy it? 3*s sign right up. 2*s are welcome - you need the right level of experiance (its more than twice ther usual tuesday night paddles - chat to me) and we have the right numbers/mix of people. (Std river rules will apply)

     

    UPDATE  - people

    3* and above

    • Dan
    • Sarah
    • Charlie
    • Julian

     2*s

    We paddled from the basin to the get out at Vauxhall in an hour on our Richmond relay trip, so this should be an easy paddle for people who have been on a few Tuesday night river paddles.

    (If we don't have many takers I'll be considering this to go further past battersea as there are some great get outs there with cafes and bars near the water. )

    Unfortunately the Thames triangle looks set for either the weekend of the 27th/28th.  I've already done the Vauxhall/Battersea trip and would like to do it again.  That said, I think I will wait for the Thames triangle confirmation and go with that as looks like a really good trip and would be good as I have not done it before.

    Hi,

     

    Could I put my name down for this please.  I have done a weekend of sea paddling, so should be able to go the distance. 

     How do I reserve a boat?

     

    Cheers

     

    James

    Good to have you on board.

    to book a boat go to : http://towerhamletscanoeclub.co.uk/forums/thread/16135.aspx and select your boat and date. The inventory list should give you a guide to the names of the boats.
