Kayaking on the Thames with CKC & TideFest 2025 - 11:30am

The meeting point is on the large concrete area West of Kew Bridge on the North side of the river. Please meet us near to the long red sea kayak.

Please arrive on time, wearing the clothes & shoes you plan to wear in the kayak. Wear clothes & shoes you are happy will get wet/muddy. Note that there will be no place to change before getting on the water.

Trainers/watershoes/wetsuit shoes that protect your feet from beach gravel/litter and mud. Footwear is essential.

Chose clothes which will dry quickly e.g. walking-style trousers, leggings, and fleece-type jumper. No cotton clothes or jeans as they will keep you cold if they get wet.

Bring a waterproof bag/box to keep your valuables dry when kayaking.

Bring a waterproof coat and a rain hat or warm hat to wear in the kayak. If you have waterproof trousers please bring them to wear too (in case there is rain).

If you wear glasses bring string/strap to keep them and not drop them. Bring any medication you may need. Bring a bottle of water and a snack to take with you when kayaking.

Please bring a towel in case you get wet and a change of clothes that you can put on after the session.

We will need an In Case of Emergency (ICE) number of someone who is not on the same session as you. We will also need to know if you have any medical conditions that we should know about.
