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.

Programme:

This is an out and back paddle totalling 11 miles. We start from Hurst Park going east past Hampton Court making our way to Teddington Lock where will stop to have our packed lunches and then return. In normal conditions the river is suitable for kayak and open canoe paddlers for most abilities. There is a risk of the trip being cancelled if the Thames is "Red Boarded" at times of high flow rates when the Thames is deemed unsafe for paddle craft.

Meet by 10.00 at Hurst Park open space car park (Post Code KT8 1TW) just off the A3050 Walton to Hampton Court Road. Turn into Saddlers Ride at a mini roundabout for the (signed) riverside car park (free with height restrictor). There is parking for high vehicles just outside the car park. w3w: sparks.clocks.rooms, Lat/Long: 51.411047, -0.35877 , OS: TQ14246928.
