Spooky SUP Club – CANCELLED! Sadly, having scouted this (Tuesday) morning there's just a touch too much flow on the rivers through town to conduct a fancy dress paddle in absolute safety. Not obviously dangerous so probably wouldn't be impossible or irresponsible to paddle in lower numbers during the day – but in the dark in...
POSTPONED! Sadly the super-windy and now very possibly / probably wet forecast means we are postponing this month's pick. Stay tuned for news next month, potentially 10th December...
Venue: Two Tree Island (SS9 2GB) Meeting: c.5pm Launch: after 5.20pm briefing Finish: c.7.10pm Level: Competent coastal paddlers For the last of this season's regular Wednesday evening SUP Clubs, we're going to hit Two Tree. Launching before sunset but coming back as dusk descends – therefore only up-for-it, competent coastal paddlers with night paddling experience (and suitable navigation lights) need apply...
SUP Club 18th October 2023: postponed! Storm Babet is bringing ridiculously strong winds and heavy rain tonight, therefore SUP Club isn't viable...
Venue: Mill House (CM3 4FL) Meeting: c.5.05pm, 11th Oct 2023 Briefing: 5.30pm at Little Baddow Mill Lock Launch: c.5.35pm at Little Baddow Mill Lock! Finish: c.7.10pm Level: Competent river paddlers So it's looking like the rainband won't have come far enough south to trouble us too much tonight (sorry, late edit, but the 2pm forecasts still seem doable – albeit with the...
Venue: Mill House (CM3 4BG) Meeting: c.5.15pm, 4th Oct 2023 Briefing: 5.40pm at Little Baddow Mill Lock Launch: c.5.45pm at Little Baddow Mill Lock! Finish: c.7.15pm Level: Competent river paddlers After a fortnight's hiatus due to our Devon club trip, 2023 SUP Club season continues from Mill House this week. And as warned, it needs to be crazy early so we don't...
Our next Water Wombles litterpick is confirmed for Sunday 8th October (unless the weather forecasts do something totally crazy in the meantime!) at Sandford Mill on the River Chelmer. Meeting from 11am ahead of a c.11.30 briefing. With many thanks again to Cllr Rich for organising access, we are able to park at Sandford Mill, CM2 6NY:...
SUP Club 13th September 2023: POSTPONED...
SUP Club 20th September 2023: POSTPONED! With the forecasts way too wet and windy to allow us onto the water for SUP Club this week, sadly we are going to give it a miss...
Venue: Mill House (CM3 4BG) Meeting: c.5.50pm, 12th Sep 2023 Launch: before / after 6.10pm briefing Finish: c.7.45pm Level: Competent river paddlers With a borderline moderate easterly breeze on the forecasts (so not suitable for everyone at the coast, and with the Willow Set at Papermill otherwise engaged) we're back to Mill House on the River Chelmer for SUP Club this...
