Paddle Away Day

Join us for a paddling trip on 16 August, set in the scenic surroundings of the River Frome near Wareham. This event promises a combination of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty as we paddle together into Poole Harbour.

Our journey will begin at the Redcliffe Farm slipway, which is part of the campsite. This launch point offers easy access to the river and is conveniently located for campers. Launching is free if you are camping, £5 per boat / board (including car parking)

Our paddling adventure will take us down on the tide into Poole Harbour, with the tide bringing us back upstream a couple of hours later. Additionally, we can explore up to Wareham and beyond, offering a varied experience of the river's charm. There is a slip at Wareham and riverside pubs for lunch. All are welcome in canoes, kayaks or paddleboards.

We will offer club paddleboards and sit-on-tops for a small rental fee, these must be collected from and returned to the club.

For those who wish to stay overnight, the campsite is from £22 per night there is a nice separate tent area and decent facilities.

There is no cost associated with this trip. It is a casual cruise together, and participants should be aware that no rescue boat will be provided. Please ensure you are equipped for paddling and comfortable on the water. Being in a group should give confidence that others are around.

This paddling awayday trip is an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow paddling enthusiasts, explore the picturesque River Frome, and enjoy the quiet end of Poole Harbour. We look forward to sharing this experience with you and creating lasting memories on the water.
