Our experienced guides will help start your adventure heading out from Kecksys Farm Marina and taking you through some of the scenic Hertfordshire countryside offering a short journey with easy paddling, a portage around a traditional lock and on to a thatched pub with beer garden a short distance from the river Where we will take a break along the way to refuel with light refreshments.

It's sure to be an adventure unlike any other!

(We can also offer this paddle in canoes for two person canoes - via a separate booking on this website).

If your already an experienced paddler we are happy for you to head out on this adventure independently as long as you are confident in portaging around locks on route.

You will need to be responsible at all times for all members of your paddling group whilst on the water. Paddlers will need to be able to swim a short distance and be water confident in case of a capsize.

There will be carrying of equipment at the start of the session at the mid point around a lock and then to our store to put equipment away at the end of each journey.

Please bring a change of clothes suitable trainers and waterproofs and money for a drink and snack at a local riverside pub. We also recommend binging a dry bag to keep small items such as keys and phone safe and dry.
