This is an excellent annual Club trip. Suitable for all ages, it is a great opportunity to bring your whole family along for a paddle or to escape the family and hang out in a field with fellow paddlers!

You do not need to be an experienced canoeist. We will run practice sessions at the Meanders on Sundays in advance to give anyone the basic canoe skills needed.

We have reserved pitches (some with hook-up, some without), hard standing and glamping pods at Lucksall Caravan & Camping Park in their Long Meadow. It is a family-friendly, clean and lovely campsite.

We have reserved some canoes for the Saturday to paddle down the Wye, taking in Symonds Yat.

For those of you with your own craft, there will be a group play at (or in!) Symonds Yat on Friday and possibly another paddle on the Wye on Sunday. There will also be a walk on the Friday for those not doing extra paddling.

All members and friends and family are welcome.

To come along you need to book your camping ASAP. Just call Lucksall: 01432 870213 and tell them you want to be in the Long Meadow part of CVCC. You can stay for just the Friday and Saturday or extend either side and stay Thursday to Monday.

For the Saturday paddle, we will paddle from Kerne Bridge, through Symonds Yat to Monmouth.  This is approximately 14.5 miles.  We will have a lunch stop so make sure you bring food, snacks and drinks with you.

We need to meet at Monmouth Canoes at 8.15am and they will transport us to Kerne Bridge. We should arrive back in Monmouth around 4pm.

You can either hire a canoe or bring your own kayak/SUP/canoe (it will be £5 to get your craft transported with the group minibus).

The canoes are £40 per person or £30 for Under 18s.

Please book for canoe tickets below.

Once everyone has booked, we can agree groups to accommodate:

  1. 2 person canoe
  2. 3 person canoe
  3. Family canoe (2 adults, 2 children)
  4. A space in a canoe (if you do not have a group/pair sorted)

We will need to sort out shuttles and/or book a taxi minibus (at extra cost) from the campsite to Monmouth Canoes. This will be sorted out once we have all the numbers. Each boat will need to pay £2.50 launching fee on the day.

Do email info@cvcc.org.uk with any questions.
