All of our bookings are with Eola.co where we have a booking calendar of activities on offer with the option to book a date for activities when you are ready to paddle. Club membership is available to paddlers on completion of a trial paddling session on request.
Taster sessions take place on the River Stort for Kecksys Marina.
We meet up on a Saturday morning and have a paddling session which is an upstream paddle on the River Stort an easy to paddle stretch of river. The taster is a there and back paddle suitable for our families and young paddlers aimed to see if you like paddling. We have instructors on hand to help you to develop your paddling skills on our taster sessions.
Pub paddling sessions are a paddling session to one of several pubs near to us on the River Stort. We use the Three Horseshoes public house in Spellbrook as our main pub paddle which is a short walk from the river but we often head to The Port Jackson in Bishops Stortford or the Harlow Mill pub which is near to the River (shuttles back to base required by taxi bus to our base ) An alternative destination for a short paddle is a trip to the Shed Tea rooms/ cafe for amazing cakes and coffee in Sawbridgeworth for thos looking for a great snack / breakfast or lunch.
