Unsuitable tides mean we’re back to the river for SUP Club this week – where the wonderful Willow Set are kindly staying open late for us again, charging £3 from 5.30pm onwards when you use the password ‘SUPsect’ or flash our logo at the gate.

So please make sure you’re arrived and setting up by 6pm at Paper Mill Lock to gather at our ‘training zone’ by the entrance for a 6.20pm briefing ahead of a 6.30pm launch. Looks like maybe a light northerly breeze this week, so we might go a lock each way – up to Mill House then down to Rushes and back? TBC at the briefing though…

As always, please ensure you are licensed to paddle the river (renewals via www.waterways.org.uk). Everyone licensed, with their own kit (including leash!) who can paddle confidently is very welcome… (Please though, if you’re not yet competently steering, stopping and turning, a busy group at SUP Club isn’t the place to learn to SUP – we offer paddleboard lessons for that!)

After, we’re going for dinner and drinks at our favourite local pub – we’ll do a show of hands for numbers at the briefing.
