Our local rivers all provide their own challenges and different paddling conditions, with both classic paddling and fun playboating on the Spey and other rivers.

Some of our visitors include Tonbridge Canoe Club and Laburnam Canoe Club who all had a great time paddling (amongst other things!) the local rivers.
