Two Tree Island in #sunniertimes You can circumnavigate Two Tree Island in either direction, it just takes a little planning to get the 6km route right. Ideally you want to be halfway round bang on high tide, which needs to be above 5.3m to provide enough water around the top. It’s best in northerly and westerly winds as the Leigh Marshes are exposed to southerlies and easterlies - so can get choppy in sea breezes. This is a long-time favourite route of ours when conditions are right, and also a real bird-spotter’s delight! 🦆Big thanks to Nat and Sam for this striking self-portrait as they turn clockwise around the island from Hadleigh Ray.

(Although right now, with the river in full flood, it’s surely much less appealing😬).Summer 2020 was by far the busiest we’ve ever seen the river, so Greg’s done well to capture the tranquility we know it for…🌿To help us all keep the faith for this coming summer, as many of us have opted to stay off the water during this lockdown we’ll be sharing our paddlers’ favourite summertime photos.
