Tour starts from the car park at Allington Lock, paddling down the river Medway to East Farleigh and back. The total distance is about 9/10 miles, there are no portages but you can get out to stretch your legs at East Farleigh. There is a very handy pub on the opposite bank at the start/finish point so we can book a table and get some lunch if anyone fancies it. (Please let the organiser know).
Paddlers should be self-sufficient but please indicate whether a club boat is required for paddlers who do not have their own equipment.
We meet at Allington Lock ME16 0LU at 9:30 to be on the water at 10:00, please allow enough time to unload and get ready. It’s an Environment Agency run car park that costs about £4.00 a day, stop at the lock keepers office just before the barrier and pay him by card, he’ll raise the barrier and you can drive a short distance along to parking area. Please make sure you have your BC membership card with you as they have been known to ask to see them in the past. There are toilets at the car park.
For more information and to book your space on the tour, email the organiser with your name, contact telephone number, emergency contact number and state whether you will be taking your own boat or wish to borrow a club boat.
