As a section of the Camping and Caravanning Club, all our camping events are open to Camping and Caravanning Club members (including Canoe-camping Club members) only. Anyone participating must be a member of the Camping and Caravanning Club before attending a meet.

Please remember to bring your Club membership cards to all club events, since we are required to check and record memberships are current.  We also need to record BRITISH CANOEING numbers for those who have them. Paddlers need to be a member of the Canoe-camping Club and/or one of Britain's paddlesport National Governing Bodies*.   These are needed to ensure that we are covered by the Club's and British Canoeing's insurance.
Canoeing and kayaking are ‘assumed risk’ ‘water contact’ activities, however serious accidents are very rare.
Participants should be aware of and accept these risks, and be responsible for their own action and involvement.
All participants in club trips or meets do so at their own risk, and neither the Club nor its officers can accept any liability for loss or injury of any kind sustained whilst on a Club trip, meet or other activity.

Two day paddles are planned - one on Saturday and one on Sunday:-

  • Possibility of tidal paddle from Rochester to Allington on Saturday if tides and weather are suitable. Otherwise it will be from Tonbridge to Yalding - six locks, but some have canoe passes of varying quality/difficulty.
  • Sunday paddle from Yalding to Allington 3 locks, one with a canoe pass suitable for all.

A number of paddlers will camp at Allington Lock.  There is no access for cars to the campsite, which is along a footpath in front of the lock keepers cottage. Only a short distance from the cars, but it is advised to pack with this in mind. There is a limit to the number of tents at Allington lock, and cabins are also available. Book camping on 01622 752864.

Run Leader for the weekend is Cliff Hayward
