Please contact the run leader as early as possible to allow planning for car shuttles and parking.
This is a downstream paddle that will require a car shuttle at the start and finish. This paddle is subject to water levels and may be diverted in the week leading up to the paddle if necessary. Expect flowing water, multiple tree obstacles and possible grounding. Paddlers should be confident manoeuvring their craft on moving water in tight spaces and able to break out of a quick flowing stream.
Cars arriving from the south may be asked to go straight to the Stepping Stones Car Park just North of Dorking on the A24 (south carriageway). Location: w3w: custom.pulled.host, Lat/Long: 51.249259, -0.324143, OS: TQ 17059 51343, Postcode: RH5 6AE. Parking free for National Trust Members. Arrive by 9:00 am to off load boats and kit. At 9:30am we will then take as many cars as possible to Leatherhead (see below) whilst leaving someone to look after the boats and kit.
Cars arriving from the north may be asked to go straight to Leatherhead, Bridge Street Car Park (or Minchin Close opposite if full). Parking is free Sundays. Location w3w: enter.spell.snacks, Lat/Long 51.294187, -0.332277, OS: TQ 16378 56326, Postcode: KT22 8BL. Arrive by 9:30am with the possibility of combining boats, kit and people in fewer cars and also reserving spaces in car park.
