  • Starting in Pulborough, the River Arun in West Sussex is a great place to go kayaking or paddle-boarding. In this video we take a paddle a couple miles up river and find a place to wild camp for the night.

    This was a cracking little trip on the river. Although if someone were to just listen to audio at around 11.45, they might be forgiven for thinking that they were watching something else entirely 😂

      Haha! You rumbled our crafty 'technique' for getting more subscribers. Or perhaps we are scaring them off!?

    Great video mate. I like how you say someone was using a chainsaw all night as if that’s normal ha ha I’d be terrified

      Thanks! Ha and yes, tbh it was a little concerning with the Texas Chainsaw having a late night.

    What a nice trip! Do you you neeed a licence to paddle on that river? Also, have you ever had trouble with wild camping eg someone asking you to leave? That's my fear 😩

      Don't think you need a license? Ha... and I've never been asked to move wildcamping and I've done it a lot! 😊

      Cheers Mat. Defo recommended. So easy to park right (free on a Sunday) and right next to the slope into the water. Lots of nice scenery too!

    Amazing what you can do with an Intex K2: carrying 2 people, a dog and camping gear for an overnight trip.

    • @WestGoesEast
      @WestGoesEast  Год назад

      True that. Could carry a decent amount!

    A lovely adventure and beautiful environments 😊 I am happy you didn't capsize 😂 It looked a tad wobbly with all the luggage. But you are obviously skilled canooe paddlers so it went well - mostly 😁 And Emma's clothes dried probably during the night 😊

    • @WestGoesEast
      @WestGoesEast  Год назад +1

      It was a bit wobbly but the kayak held up well. Less can be said for Emma's clothes drying during the night. It was very dewy and cold!

    why she got her paddle wrong way round

    • @WestGoesEast
      @WestGoesEast  Год назад +1

      Because she was getting to grips with it and is not a professional kayaker perhaps?

    first rule of wild camping LEAVE NO TRACE NOT A PILE OF CHARRED FIRE WOOD

    • @WestGoesEast
      @WestGoesEast  Год назад +1

      If you're referring to the logs next to when Woody was licking the mess tin, they were cleared and you wont find no trace. If you are referring to the few bits of wood for the boat launch then my bad but they were found by the bank anyway.
