Maidstone Canoe Club

Because of the possibility of flooding Norman has decided that we will only paddle the Stour if river levels are not too high. If the rain continues and the Medway is in flood on Friday we will paddle down from Yalding instead of the Stour, the final decision wiil be made at 9:00pm at the club.

If you were intending to go straight to Canterbury please come to the club instead. If we paddle the Medway there will be Bacon Butties and Hot Dogs at the club after the paddle.

Come and paddle through Canterbury and on down the Stour to Fordwich to work off the Christmas Mince Pies!  At the end we will find a pub (George & Dragon, Fordwich) to help us put the calories back on again!  Total distance approximately 6-8km.

 Please be prepared for cold weather - warm clothing, chocolate bars, etc.  We have had swimmers in hte past, so only paddlers with moving water experience are encouraged to participate. 

Egress is in Car Park of George & Dragon Pub, Fordwich (Tel 01227 710 661) subject to pub approval which will be sought prior to the event.

Assuming pub parking approval, please change discretely and use the Pub afterwards to register your thanks.
