Friday mornings we run a short peer paddle on the River Stort, sessions start at 9.30 on the day and we paddle from our base in Sawbridgeworth up to the Port Jackson Public house in Bishops Stortford where we can access the pub for a lite lunch or snack.
This paddle is a peer lead paddle with our group and friends from other clubs and individuals who head out each week on an informal meet up and social paddle.
Paddlers often choose to start at several different locks on route choosing their own starting point along the route, collecting more paddlers looking for a shorter paddling session along the way meeting up as they portage the locks.
