Day 1 meet 9am at Ripon Canal


The SUP adventure starts on the picturesque canal in Ripon. A few kilometers into our paddle, after passing through a couple of locks, we will take a break at the beautifully kept Oxclose Lock. Snacks eaten and batteries charged, it's onto the meandering river Ure. You will find yourself gently gliding down the wide, slow-moving river with the sounds of the water and birds to keep you company. Look out for riverside wildlife such as kingfishers, herons, and lots more. Soon we will pass the grand gardens of Newby Hall and shortly after arriving at Westwick Lock for lunch. The river journey then continues all the way down to the pretty town of Boroughbridge we can stop if needed to use toilets at marina.We then have another few hours paddle passing Aldwark bridge to get to Linton Ouse lock where we will set up camp and enjoy an evening beside the river at the local pub enjoying a nice meal.
