Loxwood | Saturday 25th May | 3 mile paddle

We’re excited to announce a picturesque paddle from Loxwood down to Drungewick Aqueduct. We will meet in a car park just next to the canal (exact location sent post booking). This is a gentle 3 mile paddle with easy launching, calm waters, and only 1 portage, so we should be in for an easy ride. We will include a break at Drungewick Aqueduct, so pack snacks and a flask of tea. Then leisurely embark on our return journey.

This trip is designed to help you slow down, take a breath, and admire the scenery and charm of the countryside. We paddle at your pace and no one gets left behind.

🩹 The quality of our local waterways is something to always be aware of and it’s important to do your own research regarding this. When paddle boarding with us we ask that you cover up any minor cuts and abrasions, and to wash once you are home if you fall/swim in the river, this is to reduce the risk of disease such as weil's disease. Paddle Up strongly recommends not to participate in paddling if I have any open wounds, and instead to reschedule. Read our FAQ's here.
