Maidstone Canoe Club

Maridian CC are organising this trip, Maidstone members are very welcome, if you are not going to Joss Bay, details:

Arrive at Strood Steps, Canal Road, Strood, ME2 4DR at 10.30.
Please keep cars to a minimum and the nearest toilets are at Strood Station, if open.
Launch at 11.00 and head up river with the incoming tide passing under Rochester and Medway Bridges to Halling or Wouldham (5 miles) to have lunch.
High Water at Wouldham is at 14.14, so we will leave soon after to catch the tide to take us back to Strood.
I plan to arrive back at Strood Steps by 16.00 and return to the boathouse by 17.30.
Low Water at Strood Pier is at 20.45.
