What We Offer

Beginner kayaking courses

Learn to kayak with our beginners courses, starting April 2025. 

Members Paddles

We meet every Sunday at 9:30am and additionally Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm during the Summer when the evenings are longer and warmer.

We try to encourage members to stay after paddling for a tea or coffee and a chat, and some pop over to the pub for a Sunday lunch and "lemonade".

We arrange trips throughout the year which will challenge your abilities, these typically include residential white water trips, flat water trips that may involve camping, and day trips to other nearby rivers for a change of scenery. 

Kayak Touring

Touring, or flat water kayaking, is for those who like a tranquil paddle on rivers and open water (including lakes and estuaries). 

Members can hone their skills on our 'Hertford Loop' while taking in the beautiful scenery.

Whitewater Kayaking

We have several local weirs where you can develop moving water skills, and also run trips to Northampton Active (Nene Valley White Water Centre), where you can develop even further.

The club is lucky enough to be within close proximity to The Lee Valley White Water Centre, where many of our members get together to paddle the Legacy and Olympic courses. 

We also offer residential trips, to the Usk, Tryweryn, Dart and Dee, to name a few.

Canoeing

Canoes (also known as Canadian or open canoes) are another great way to get out on to lakes and rivers. 

The Club has a number of canoes for members to hire, suitable for for individuals or pairs paddling tandem.

Similar to kayaking, we are able to offer trips to both sheltered and moving water environments. If you have never paddled a canoe before and are interested in receiving coaching, please see the coaching section for more information.
