Chris, Alex, Beth, Russ, Martin and Dan Jones met up at Hurley at around 9.30am. Julian was unable to paddle but very kindly assisted with the car shuttle.



We were fortunate to have picked a very fine autumnal day to paddle this very scenic 15 mile section of the Thames which flows past steep wooded hills to the right at Marlow and to the left at Cliveden. Picturesqe riverside towns, bridges, houses, locks and boathouses provided plenty of interest along the way. 

 

Alex and Chris paddled a folding double Longhaul kayak (very similar to a Klepper) which Alex assembled and disassembled with incredible speed.



Despite the relatively early start it fell dark just before we arrived at Windsor.



Distance 15 miles.
Get-in: Hurley lock (car park near church postcode SL65NB GR SU825840).
Get-out: River right just below the Windsor and Eton Bypass Bridge (A332) adjacent to Windsor Leisure Centre (GR SU957773).
