🚣 Paddle Adventure on the Thames – Destination: Hampton Court! 🦢

Come join us for a scenic SUP & kayak journey along the stunning River Thames! We’ll soak up views of Hampton Court, paddle through peaceful stretches and navigate alongside everything from narrowboats to cruisers — plus, keep an eye out for our feathery friends (swans aplenty!).

Please book so that we can monitor we have the coaches for numbers.  Note: This trip is also running on Saturday 8 August 2026, just to make sure everyone who wants to can attend.

🗺️ Route:
We’ll launch from YMCA Hawker and paddle to Hampton Court and back — a relaxed adventure with plenty of time to take in the sights and soak up the riverside vibe.

🅿️ Parking:
Free parking is available at YMCA Hawker (KT2 5BH). We will get onto the water for 10.30am. So meet at 10am.

It’s a short portage from the car park to the river slipway.

🚻 Facilities:

  • Toilets at the YMCA

  • Cafe at YMCA

  • Café and other amenities at our lunch stop near Hampton Court

🛶 Club Equipment Loans for Members

In addition to supporting regular club sessions, CVCC is delighted to offer club equipment to members who don’t have their own kit — making it easier to join club-led trips and external courses.

If you’d like to borrow a boat or equipment, please send an email to equipment@cvcc.org.uk at least 10 days in advance. Be sure to include:

  • What boat and/or kit you’d like to borrow

  • The purpose (e.g., trip or course)

  • How long you’ll need it for

⚠️ Please note: Club kit cannot be loaned for non-club events, including peer paddles, due to insurance restrictions.

Let’s hit the water and make a splash! 🌊✨
