How does the hire start?
We fit lifejackets, give a short briefing on steering and river etiquette, and share a route card. You’ll know where to turn and where to watch for other craft.
What should we bring?
Comfortable shoes, a layer for light wind, and water. We provide poles, paddles, cushions, and a small dry bag for phones and keys.
Can timing change on the day?
It may shift with weather, river flow, or demand. We post updates at the jetty and suggest quieter loops when it’s busy.
