@@9murlon thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It's a great trip. Just watch the busy harbour mouth!

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hey that's really cool. Wow, that would be a commute!

Oh cool. I have little knowledge of birds, so thanks.

Hehe, yes, they are all very scenic!

That's awesome. Thank you.😊

Great stuff. Have a good paddle. Key thing for this paddle is to double check the tide times.

Yes, it really was. We did a shuttle run with the cars on this trip, so no return paddle.

Awesome, all the best to your 10 yr old starting out in their life adventure that is paddling. I've thought about the background sound before. The issue I have, is that I seal my gopros in a waterproof case, so the sound pickup is very muffled and sounds rubbish. There is also often the sound of clicks and clacks as the camera moves a bit in the case, or even if the case gets hit by a droplet of water. So, in the end I've always decided to edit the audio out completely.

@travelswithpaddles ah, that makes sense. Shame as the sound of fast flowing water is so relaxing

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, it's a nice trip and relatively easy too!

@neelsnprayer absolutely worth doing. It's really impressive when you are up there!

Thank you so much. Glad you got out on the water.

@@rickcovell6797 Ah, thanks for the info! We'll have to try it next time.

Nice. First time we've done this one and we certainly enjoyed it.

Right, yes, it isn't super obvious... check out ruclips.net/video/2ZFjT1O1Gek/видео.htmlsi=Bt8_SIKShUICsxB0&t=240 and pause. Have a look to the right of centre, next to the tall dock crane. Cavalier is the pale blue-grey colour. It's only the superstructure that you can see, as the hull is obscured by the dock wall. Hope that helps.

Oh wow! That's really cool. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sorry about your illness. But, glad that the video brought you some joy. Thanks.

@@travelswithpaddles I became epileptic from a brain injury during a motorbike accident. Unfortunately my medication doesn’t control my seizures anymore so can’t even have a bath but I’m lucky to be alive. I like watching mountain bikes and motorbikes and sailing all hobbies I love but are too dangerous for me.

​@@richardjames9091 Oh gosh, that's rough. I wish you the best.

Yeah, amazing it's just sitting there.

Awesome. Good footage…

​@milesbrown8016 many thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks, really glad you enjoy them 🙂.

Thank you so much. Yes, it is a really beautiful part of France.

Hehe, Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks. Yes that's where it ends now after the middle of the tunnel collapsed. Before that, it used to run all the way to Basingstoke.

Ace, thanks.

Good news then. All of the videos since the start of 2022 have exactly what you are looking for.

Ace, I'll keep adding them. Thanks.

Hi Werner, I hope you have a great time. It is a lovely river. The Montbrun gauge was showing around 130cm. Have a look here and click history... earlyfloodalert.com/paw/chart.html?commonid=O312102002-fr

@@travelswithpaddles Good moning James! Thank you very much for your reply! Wow! Pretty high level! At the moment it has 95 cm which is not so exciting... good for me! I am alone there and do not have interest in dangerous situations... thank you again! Best regards, Werner

Yes, we had regular rainfall most nights when we were there, which kept topping up the river. Plus occasionally some rain during the day. Have a good one.

Hi there. 28th May 2023. The date is always first thing at the start of the video 🙂.

Merci Beaucoup. La region du Wye est tres jolie.

Thank you so much. We had such a great time on this trip.

Awesome, thank you. I'm working on day 3, which has a lot of rapids! Plus the huge bridge at Millau!

@@travelswithpaddles I look forward to that notification.

Super, glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, great to hear that you're interested in starting up paddling. Joining a club is a really good choice to get you started in the sport. In terms of local clubs, I would have said Arun Canoe Club. But, searching the net, I can't find any club pages that have been active for years. Your next closest is probably Chichester CC or Hunston CC or Portsmouth CC. Check out this site for more clubs www.britishcanoeing.org.uk/canoe-near-you. In terms or buying a boat, joining the club first is your best bet. They should have boats you can borrow, to see how you like them. This will then guide your decision. All the best.

Ah superb. Une belle region de France.

Thanks. The Lake District is a fantastic place to paddle.

That depends on where you are located really?

Good stuff. Hope you have a great time.

Yes, it's a lovely stretch of water. Yes, we looked at the BC launch, but it was a soggy mud slide at the time, so in the end we opted to pay the few pounds for launch and parking at the campsite!

@@travelswithpaddles Thanks, the campsire was our Plan B if we had not been able to park or launch elsewhere.

Have a good one. It may have been cleared by now. Having said that, with the current weather, even more trees may be down, so take care.

Yes, that's correct. Dagger Stratos.

Nice boat 😊

@@helenward681 Yes, the Stratos is a good all round touring boat and is nimble enough to handle a bit of low class white water.

Good stuff. It's a nice section of the canal.

Hi, round trip was around 5 hours of paddling time. So averaging around 4mph.

Thank you kindly.

Thanks. Bit far for us to travel! But I'm sure it would be a great paddle.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the nice comment. The Medway trail is always great fun.

@@travelswithpaddles it's nice to see it from your perspective. I have not filmed any of my jaunts so far, but might do some time...thanks for replying btw.😊🛶

@lawrencemartin1113 it's a lot of work editing the videos, but they are good memories for you to look back on in a few years time.

The Verdon is a truly stunning place to paddle. Really recommend it. Afon Teifi sounds good and no I haven't paddled it yet, thanks for the recommendation. I've been on a few of the Welsh rivers such as the Usk, Tywi (Towy) and Cothi. In terms of something in the South East, I can highly recommend the Medway Canoe Trail from Tonbridge down to Allington (and right down to the sea if you wish). Really nice river with some really fun slides at the weirs. Check out ruclips.net/video/MYRrexsy6eI/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/x3vlmCP3mdo/видео.html for more info. Just be careful of the slide at Sluice Weir Lock (interesting name) it is significantly steeper that the others and is made of concrete without the guide brushes that the other slides have. If your inflatable has a fixed skeg, the roughness of the concrete won't do it any good. It may be worth portaging that one.

@@travelswithpaddles thanks for the recommendations. Are skegs are removable thankfully and surprisingly robust!

@@travelswithpaddles yep, just watched those two, that looks like a really fun route. Thank you for recommendation.

Great stuff. Yes there is a good variety of wildlife in this area. Up from Pulborough is a great paddle too. I should have a video of it somewhere on the channel.

@@travelswithpaddles I did notice that video, as well as a couple of the Welsh rivers you mentioned on your reply to another comment, it was getting late so thought I’d check them out another time.

Ah Ace, thanks for the update. I'm glad that most of the trees have been cleared. Good to know about the weir too.

@@travelswithpaddles did Cobham Mill to Painshill section today. There’s a new tree down across the river, you can see it on the left hand side when crossing the bridge from Effingham to Cobham direction. Can get easily under it on the right hand bank. Water level was quite low though.

@@travelswithpaddles did Cobham Mill to Painshill section today. There’s a new tree down across the river about 0.3 of a mile from Cobham mill, you can see it on the left hand side when crossing the bridge from Effingham to Cobham direction. Can get easily under it on the right hand bank. Water level was quite low though.

@@baronvonthrophousen5930 Hey Cool. Hope it was a good paddle and thanks for the update on the tree.

@@travelswithpaddles it was a beautiful day for a quick paddle. The tree at 8:12 in the video before the water wheel at Painshill is no longer there. We are heading all the way to the Thames on our next trip so hopefully, as with fetcham to Painshill, the river will be clearer for us. Fingers crossed.
