Today we meet the first named storm of the autumn season, Ali, so no surprise it’s properly windy! Hence we’ll have to head back to the river for SUP Club tonight – meeting from 6.10pm ahead of a 6.30pm launch at Mill House (by the Church Road bridge, just beyond CM3 4BG). As ever we’ll graduate the start, paddling south-west towards the A12 into quite a lot of wind and a fair bit of flow: it’s very unlikely anyone will have the inclination to bounce back tonight so we’ll just accept it’s going to string out and go for a 7.15pm turn – which is basically dusk, so we’ll be heading back (and hopefully grouping back up) in the dark. Bring your lights, but please not bright white ones! After, back to the Six Bells for dinner and drinks. Sorry, strong paddlers only tonight – and no hire kit.
