Not Official LCC Event
Social Paddle down the River Kent
We will stay flexible sensitive to the water levels and participants.
Staveley to Burneside - I thought it might be fun to continue the journey down the Kent from where we left off last time .
We have the option of running Cowan Bridge or the portage is very easy.
There are some weirs, usually most are OK but a couple are definite portages.
