Yesterday morning's mist gave way to a gloriously sunny afternoon for this month’s litter-pick as our Water Wombles took on the stretch upstream from Sandford Mill to Chelmsford on the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation. 🧹🚮♻️ Great to see it’s remained much clearer than the previous times we’ve visited, but we still got a good dozen bagfuls of bottles, cans and other 'standard' detritus out… 🍾🥤🥫🍃🦢 Huge thanks to everyone that joined us on an amazing autumn day. 🌞 Stay tuned to the SUPsect Water Wombles FB group for details of next month's river-clean, provisionally Sunday 11th December.

It’s winter racing season – and the forecast is set fine for this Saturday’s first round of our EASI winter race series up at Wroxham Broad, hosted by Norfolk SUP Racing. Let’s hope the weather’s this kind come 19th February next year when it’s our turn to host round 4! Entries are still open for this Saturday – and in fact, for all five races of the series – via www.webscorer.com/registerseries?seriesid=294737

Happy Halloween! 🎃🖤🧡 SUPsect fright night

Happy Halloween! 🎃🖤🧡 SUPsect fright night paddlers made an amazing effort with facepaint, masks, costumes, props and lights this year for our 5th annual spooky SUP parade through Chelmsford city centre on Saturday. ☠️💀🧟🧛‍♂️👻👺🧙‍♀️👿🦇 A flotilla of skeletons, plus day of the dead brides and grooms, the grim reaper, a werewolf, a mummified paddler, ghost pirate, witches, vampires and plenty more ghoulishness too… 🙏 With thanks to Cllr Rich for sharing on a couple of local message boards we entertained plenty of families cheering us on from the bridges over the Rivers Chelmer and Can. 👏 Thanks too to Matt for saving supper by negotiating 20 of us into the super-fine Rose of India restaurant on a busy Saturday night.

We enjoyed a super-relaxed night under the stars yesterday for the closing Wednesday evening of our regular SUP Club season before the clocks go back this weekend… 🦇🦇🦇🚥🎇🍻🍛 Here’s six snaps of twilight turning to dusk on the River Chelmer.

Spooky SUP skulls-up! 💀 We’re planning to parade our traditional Halloween paddle through central Chelmsford again – this coming Saturday 29th, c.5.30 / 6pm, TBC with full details later this week. 🎃👻👺🧙‍♀️🧟🦇 Mwahahaha…

SUP Club heads-up update! As the Maldon stretch is reportedly pretty choked with weed, we'll need to revert to Mill House tomorrow after all. TBC with the full call in the morning.

SUP Club heads-up: more breeze this week won’t be conducive to catching a late low tide, so we’ll need to hit the river… 🦢🦇 But to mix it up we might visit Maldon from Heybridge Basin for a change, c.6pm so lit up of course. 🚥🎇 TBC with the full call on Wednesday morning.

SUPtown funk! 🎇🌃🖤🧡 Not an ideal night for photography, but here are a few somewhat blurry snaps of what was a really enjoyable, surprisingly busy evening as SUP Club explored Chelmsford city centre up the Rivers Chelmer and Can last night…

SUP Club heads-up: it’s looking like a properly full-on windy evening tomorrow, so we’re thinking of hiding out in Chelmsford city centre. Not a venue we often take SUP Club to, but having just tidied up on Sunday and ahead of our Halloween paddle on Saturday 29th, it seems seasonable... Meeting c.6pm – but totally TBC: full details with the final call Wednesday morning.

Thanks to a big band of intrepid litter-pickers (sorry: not all pictured) the SUPsect Water Wombles pulled an impressive haul of detritus out of the rivers of central Chelmsford yesterday. 🧹🚮♻️🛒🚲🪑🍾🥤🥫🍃🦢 Seven trollies, four bikes, several chairs, a tarpaulin, pushchair, plastic tubing, plenty of the usual cans, bottles, plastic cups, wrappers and more – plus an unspeakable special delivery!

It was a pretty amazing turnout last night for a dark, damp mid-October evening on the river – which made for a really buzzing SUP Club as a couple of dozen of us lit up for the Mill House to Cuton Lock loop as dusk descended. 🦢🦇🎇🚥🍻🍛 Thanks all for another epic evening… 🖤🧡

SUP Club heads-up: with another mid-afternoon high

SUP Club heads-up: with another mid-afternoon high tide and more south-westerly breeze on the forecast, we can’t see there’s much option but a straight repeat of last week at the river. 🦆🦢🦇🎇🌖🍻🍛 So expect Mill House at 6pm, TBC with the full call on Wednesday morning…

We had a really fun little SUP Club last night to declare night paddle season open with a blast from Mill House to Cuton Lock and back for a cosy dinner at our favourite hostelry... 💨🌤🦆🦢🌔🦇🎇🍻🍛

#supsect #supclub #sup #wednesday

SUP Club heads-up: there’s some fierce westerly

SUP Club heads-up: there’s some fierce westerly wind on the forecasts for Wednesday and more awkward tides, so we’re pretty sure we’ll be on the Chelmer for SUP Club this week. 💨 And with the Willow Set now closed for winter, probably back to the gravel at Mill House. 🎇 We’ll be finishing in the dark, so do dust off those navigational lights (please no bright whites though – preferably just reds and greens…) 💬 TBC with the full call on Wednesday morning.

With a ridiculously early start to catch the tide,

With a ridiculously early start to catch the tide, it was never going to be a big SUP Club last night – but it was a good’un alright, as a dozen of us downed tools for a 5pm downwinder with the ebbing tide from a chilly Chalkwell to a Shoebury sunset…

#supsect #supclub #sup #wednesday

SUP Club heads-up: with ever-earlier sunsets and some awkward tides, afraid we’ve entered silly season for Wednesday nights now… And this week there’s some weather about too, which means we're looking to go ridiculously early. On current forecast we’d need a c.5pm launch from Chalkwell for a down-tide / downwinder. As last time, a fortnight ago, definitely experienced coastal paddlers only. TBC with the full call on Wednesday morning.

After a cloudy day, it turned out to be a stunning night for SUP Club yesterday evening. A bit of a blast out east from Two Tree, against the flooding tide and breeze as the sun set. Then we flew home before dusk…

SUP Club heads-up: with a really neapy low tide we’re hoping the breeze will allow us out at the coast somehow this week. ❓ Not sure where yet – maybe Two Tree or possibly even Hullbridge – although given the tide and sunset times we’re pretty sure it’ll need to be another early one at c.6pm. 👀 Look out for the full call on Wednesday morning…
