  • Description

    Our 2 hour Self Guided Adventures are perfect for that post work wind down...

    The session starts with a briefing and introduction to paddling before taking to the water for your journey into the Back of Beyond...

    1. Paddle the water between Richmond Bridge and Teddington Lock.
    2. Explore the islands and riverside jungle as you go.
    3. Perhaps stop for the briefest of drinks and The White Swan pub
    Requirements

    Each person must be able to paddle independently and please note our touring kayaks are 12"-14" long.

    You should be confident on and around water and need to be able to swim 50 metres.

    Please note that all paddlers under 18 years of age must be accompanied on the water with a parent or guardian.


    What to bring

    For all of our kayak adventures we recommend that you wear shorts, running tights, or similar, and wear a t-shirt with additional layers appropriate for the day. You also need footwear to paddle with, for example old trainers.

    Many people choose to pack their favourite food and drink for a riverside picnic or, if you're planning on stopping at a riverside pub, remember a bank card or similar.

    Itinerary

    You’ll receive a (re)introduction to paddling, along with some guidance on where to paddle, and we’ll provide you with a dry bag that you can use to take a towel, food, phone and wallet with you.

    Paddling towards Twickenham, you’ll get to explore the islands and backwaters of the Thames, before mooring up to pause for a pint at one of the paddle friendly, riverside pubs along the way. You’ll have time for a quick drink before returning to the river to paddle back to Petersham Meadows and River Lane.

    Once back, you’ll return your dry bags, buoyancy aids, paddles and craft, before heading to Petersham Meadows for a lunchtime picnic or to Petersham Nurseries for some afternoon tea!
