Paddle Boarding - Welford Arm - On the Grand Union Canal
A nice relaxed paddle on a dull Autumn day through the Northamptonshire countryside. This is a great place to launch if you're in the area and I highly recommend it! Great parking too.

From Gravelly Hill to the oldest railway in the World! What an amazing paddle on one of the youngest canals in Britain. So much history to be had.
Paddle Boarding - To Birmingham on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal

My first paddling trip using public transport was quite an adventure on a frosty Autumn morning South of Birmingham. Loads of interesting bits and finishing at the amazing Gas Street Basin in the centre of the city. Loved it!
Paddle Boarding - Hatton Locks and Shrewley Tunnel - On the Grand Union Canal
Просмотров 52810 месяцев назад
The Grand Union Canal amalgamated a lot of other canals and this particular stretch was once the Birmingham and Warwick Canal. Passing through Shrewley Tunnel this really is a nice paddle with great parking at Hatton locks too. Give it a try...
Paddle Boarding - Stratford Upon Avon - On the River Avon

A really popular place and one that I paddle a lot. A friendly stretch of water with loads to see, whether you're a beginner or an experienced paddler, Stratford is always a nice day out.
Paddle Boarding - Symonds Yat Rapids - On The River Wye

On a 3 day paddle this was one of the highlights at around the 34 mile mark. Heavy rain for 2 days prior meant the Wye was pretty full with debris travelling through with us. Really great fun!!

A very early morning Autumnal paddle through the really interesting town of Loughborough. Loads of history and a nice relaxed trip through our industrial heritage. Another fascinating place!

This is a lovely paddle with great parking and an easy launch. About 6 miles and not far from Leicester in the UK Midlands. Plenty to see and plenty of history.

This a lovely launch point onto the River Helford and it's harbour. Once again, lots of history to the area. We really enjoyed this paddle.
Kayaking - Porthcurno, Cornwall.

We've never laughed so much as during this paddle!! Porthcurno is a truly amazing place and another 'must do' paddle. So much history and a beautiful sea. Go paddle it! Distance - around 5 miles. Kayak - ITIWIT 100 (2 1) Safety tips: - Always check the weather, wind and tides before you start. Wetsuits - We were sometimes far out at sea, not just by the beach Buoyancy aids - Again, as above.

Paddle Boarding - Foxton Locks to Market Harborough
Просмотров 45311 месяцев назад
This was a lovely paddle with loads of history en-route. It's about 5.5 miles so an 11 mile round trip. Toilets and a pub at both ends with great parking at Foxton... on a nice day, what more could you possibly want?
Paddle Boarding - Wanlip. On the Soar

This was a bit of a scramble around a meander of the River Soar at Wanlip, just North of Leicester. Trees, weeds and reeds but loads of fun too.
Paddle Boarding - Stratford Upon Avon Canal and Edstone Aqueduct
Просмотров 504Год назад
Stratford Upon Avon canal was saved for the public by volunteers in the late 50's and 60's. It's now a truly wonderful place to paddle. Edstone Aqueduct is an engineering marvel too and still, some 200 years after it was built, the longest cast iron aqueduct in England.
Paddle Boarding - Leamington Spa - On the Leam

I've been looking forward to this paddle for a while. Great fun paddling through this beautiful Warwickshire spa town... A difficult entry and 2 weirs to negotiate. A lovely paddle and a lovely day!
Paddle Boarding - Rugby to Newbold Early Morning Paddle

This is my alternative early morning paddle for when the wind blows in the other direction. I always like to set out into wind so it blows me back home again. There's also some great history along this stretch of the Oxford Canal.

Paddle Boarding - Care & Maintenance of your iSUP
You’re getting “free” insurance because paying for a license to use your own SUP you were taxed to buy with currency you were taxed to make is THAT dumb. Suck on that.
I remember paddling the length of the Wye 30 years ago carrying tents in kayaks and camping along the way. For Symmomds Yat to make it more fun I went down standing up on a blow up lilo. Who knew then paddle boarding would be a thing. Had my first go at SUP this week and hooked. Watching several of your videos today as I live in the East Midlands and interested to see local areas. Thanks for making them.
Sounds great. I've been a kayaker for 50 years and used to train at Symmonds back in the day. That's the fullest I've ever seen it.
Thanks for the video. What brand/model is that buoyancy aid?
Thanks for watching. It's a Gul Gamma.
This is a lovely and interesting trip with history. Particularly enjoyed the guard dog and swan ….
I love that I never know what I'm going to meet when I'm out.
Beautiful
Thankyou!
great hospital corners and sewn too, not bad at all , matron would be pleased. 😀
I did Upton to Tewkesbury yesterday, lovely route. Launched above the bridge at Upton. Instead of landing at Lower Lode, I turned off into the Avon and landed at the slipway at the Lock Picnic Grounds, Tewkesbury. Did you have to pay to park & launch at Upton Marina? I did have a quick paddle around the Marina as I passed it downstream of Upton
No I think it was free parking at the time
@@teawithq3351 Ok, thanks. May land at Upton Marina then when I do the next section upstream of the Severn
Thanks for sharing. How steep was the bank at Bredon to launch from? We tried to get round Tewkesbury weir too but like you couldn’t find a suitable spot to get back in downstream. We portaged over the road bridge instead to get into the Old Avon, didn’t realise we could have used the lock. We did use the lock at Lower Lode though (have a Waterways licence via Canoe Wales membership).
The bank at Bredon was pretty easy. Thanks for watching.
@@teawithq3351 Thanks, will probably do Bredon to Tewkesbury next time I'm up that way as a shorter route then .
Great info, thank you Sir!
Lovely informative clip with a lot of interesting canal stuff - long tunnels we only have one on the mon / Brecon canal i think i will walk around it rather than the head torch especially as i am usually on my own - tell me i am a novice SUP guy could i use board without fin fitted or will the board be too difficult to track ... I haven't paddeld a canal as yet Thanks steve
Why do you want to use it without a fin?
@teawithq3351 Good question - so the reason for no fin question I'm thinking shallow rivers and damaging the 9" fin I have But I think I will source a smaller flexi job - as I suspect its fair to say without a fin the board will be difficult to track in a straight line ??
Hi there, very nice clip i really enjoyed watching this, just wondering how many miles you did and how long was take you to paddle?
Hi. Thanks for watching. It was 8 miles and took around 2.5 hours.
Possibly the most useful video I've watched on RUclips. Thank you! Thank you especially for not editing out the snaggy bits where it didn't quite line up first time, and showing how to sort that out. I've been putting off repairing the bottom panel of my ititwit because I couldn't find how to safely get it out of the cover. You've made it so clear and shown me how I should have been looking after it in the first place.
Thankyou so much for watching.
Getting the side bladers out and out is not required, unless you've damaged the outer skin, as they can be tricky for some to get back in. Being a kite surfer for many years, I don't wash the kite off after every session as this could cause it to go mouldy, some salt prevents that. Other than that very informative, getting the floor out and cleaning inside is the bast tip. Thank you
Hello. I just bought a 2 person Itiwit just like your video. Why won't my 3 fins in the bottom easily slide into place? I almost need a hammer to get them to slide on and off. What could be wrong?
Firstly make sure they are really clean before you fit them. Any small grit or sand will jam them.
Good Advice - Many Thanks.
Brilliant, thank you, I was wondering about the bladders 👍
Thanks for watching. It's a great kayak, we have a load of fun in ours.😄
Hi - thanks for your lovely and helpful videos. We are going to be staying at Braunston for a weekend and are bringing our paddleboards. Do you have any recommendations for quiet routes of a few hours close to there? I was a bit alarmed to see the canal at Braunston described at the busiest waterway in the country! Thanks so much if you have any suggestions.
Hi. The Oxford canal is one of the busier routes but it's really not crazy busy. Also, if you fancy popping over to Stratford Upon Avon the river is lovely from fisherman's carpark or from Braunston you could head to Napton and back... there are loads of possibilities in the West Mids to be honest.
@@teawithq3351 thanks very much, that’s really helpful
Hi, which top lock did you start at? No 40?
That's Wilmcote lock 40 yes
@@teawithq3351 ok thanks and where did you park/inflate from near there? I plan to do this route tomorrow and was originally going to start from Stratford then saw your video about the number of locks 🤦♀️
You make me feel better about the number of times I fall off mate. Little bit of chop and I get thrown all over the place. I live down here, and appreciate how lucky we are to have all of this on our doorsteps. Good vid, looks like a brilliant day out.
You are not allowed to lock through a lock,pasting narrow boats port to port
Sorry what?
Many thanks first time in water sports now I know where to start ❤🎉❤🎉
Many thanks, love you video

I was on the Avon today around Warwick, rotten sanitary towells and baby wipes on tree branches at flood levels, not loads but, enough to make you really not want to get wet. Awesome what you say about the cleanliness of the canals, no raw sewerage being released into them when it floods. My preference now. Thank you...
Excellent thanks👌
Can't wait to visit in July looks really good
It's an amazing place!
Another local spot for me! Haven't used the trail you used to approach it though!
I live locally, and this is one of my winter training rides, it's perhaps better suited for gravel bike rather than MTB as most of it is asphalt. It's nice and flat though.
Great job, what did you apply to the wood slats, was it something like teak oil or varnish?
Thanks. Yes it was Teak oil.
@@teawithq3351 Excellent, as I have been planning to try out this teak oil. :)
Great video and very helpful as I'm buying a paddleboard in a week. Was this filmed in Leamington down from the Fusilier pub? My flat is right on the canal so I thought were gonna go past it!
Hi. Yes I started from Radford bottom lock. I often paddle through doing the Leam ring.
@@teawithq3351 see you on the water then mate 👍
Im.going to go this weekend
Uk is crazy for isup need licence 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg 😅😅😅world its going crazy
Big brother needs their money.

@@OriginalFallofMind ya people agree .. its legal slavery
It was very informative.. Thank's for that!
❤❤
Excellent, just come across your channel will go through your other postings. Great camera work, editing and précis. Really enjoyable. Btw, I'm from the town.
Thanks mate!
I paused this video, a few seconds into it, to look for the rare animal.... got a bit frustrated with meself because I couldn't see anything. So I pressed play..... I think I found it!! 😂😂😂😂 Is it hiding in the Bush between the fence panels??
Great video. Very informative. TIL. 😊
Licenced? Lol. What a melt.
Well aint you a badass
Thats Awesome! Where do you get the adjustable hardware for under the seat?
It's a ram from an office chair. Various sizes are available on Amazon or Ebay etc.
Great video...thanks
Thanks for watching.
Thank you🎉
Really cool. My elementary school reader featured a circular tree bench. Now I can build one!
Thankyou. I've built quite a few
Excellent video thank you. I live in South West France and occasionally paddle on the Canal du Midi. So many of your comments apply just as equally on our French canals. Subscribed so that I can enjoy more of your videos.
Thanks. That's great to know! Not enough paddlers use our 2000 mile canal network. I try to promote it as much as possible.
Did this route yesterday. After watching your video I noticed all the details you pointed out instead of obliviously padding past. Had an amazing day. As great as watching things on video is, there is just no substitute for seeing it for yourself
Based on watching this video a while back I’ll be doing this section tomorrow as I want to see this for myself. Thanks for the inspiring me to explore more.
It's an interesting paddle. Try the Tame Valley canal while you're there. I did the video of it 2 weeks ago.
Lovely video
Thank you
Yet another brilliant video. The canal countryside is often stunning but this kind of urban canal is just fascinating to see. Can’t believe the pillars in the middle of the canal.
Thank you. Yes, they didn't care where they put their pillars!
Great to meet you on the canal, I hope you got home on the train ok 🤟🏻
Yep, great to meet you too. The train was the easy bit. Good luck with your fish😄
