Planning to paddle through the City of Cambridge; the Lock House, Jesus Green (only portage) is just over 1 mile from the Plough and then passing the back of the colleges turning by Laundress Green and return.

Meet in the car park of The Plough at 09.30, on the water by 10.00. Please park to the rear of the car park and we will launch from their riverbank. Parking is with agreement to eat there afterwards.

No facilities available at the pub until they open at 11.00. If required Tesco Superstore, Cambridge Road, Milton, CB24 6AY just off a roundabout on the A14.
