Medway Estuary, Ideal 1st Tidal Trip
Anyone wanting to experience tidal water paddling should embark on this trip.
We will meet at 8am at the Strand and paddle sea or touring boats. Please reserve your boat if you use a club boat top avoid disappointment. Paddle 2 metres or longer need to be used ideally. Spray decks must be worn. we have a neap tide so tidal flows will be reasonably slack.
We will very likely paddle for 6 miles and explore the islands and abundant wildlife and historical features on the way.
Bring snacks, drinks and any other safety gear as appropriate.
We will only paddle if conditions allow.
High tide 10:27am, Low tide 16:37pm. Neap tides.

Disclaimer
All our trips are run by club members like you, and unless specifically described otherwise, they are peer paddles.
If you think that you would benefit from the support of a formal river leader or coach, please contact the trip organiser in advance - we can usually arrange something! Otherwise you should be confident that your own ability matches the trip as planned.
If your trip is being led by someone, a more experienced paddler, river leader, or a coach - it is your responsibility to mention any medical or other issues which may arise during the trip.
