Saturday’s run. Plan is to depart from Arundel at local high water 11.45 and paddle on the ebb tide to Littlehampton. 13 miles. About 3 hours. So arrive approx 14.45.

Tide Sat 2.7.16, HW Dover= 09.55 BST.  HW L/Hampton = 10.15 BST, HW Arundel= 11.05, HW Houghton=11.45.

Due to the rapidly ebbing tide, stopping for a break on the way is probably not feasible. Of course a couple of cars at least need to be set up at Littlehampton during the morning (An alternative is for the drivers to get a train back at cost of £4.10, while the non-drivers enjoy Littlehampton fish and chips and ice cream!).

Sun – paddle from Arundel up to Pulborough:

Tides: Sun 3.7.16, Dover HW= 10.53BST,  HW L/Hampton = 11.12BST , HW Houghton= 1hr 30 after Littlehampton, =12.42. Hw Pulb = 15.07, so to do 8 miles with tide, say 3.0 hours (maybe less), so launch at 12.00.

Again we need to set cars at Pulborough Rail station car park  Map ref 042185 postcode RH201SG , - there is a parking charge at station. (In Pulborough turn west onto A283 (towards Petworth). Station is a few hundred metres on right just before railway bridge).

(Unless we can persuade a couple of non-paddlers to meet us! In which case the river bridge, where we finish, is map ref 046185, postcode RH20 2BJ).

Camping:

Due to Club and National Park regulations, we cannot have a club ‘meet’ in this National Park without a long notice term. So this is not a club camping meet. Attendees will need to camp as individual units.
