River Severn cruise
Friday 12 – Sunday 14 October 2011
The cruise is base camped at Hampton Loade near Bridgnorth for both nights and participants may paddle different distances according to their ability or experience.
On the Saturday the distance is 16 miles from Ironbridge back to the campsite, and on Sunday the distance is either from the campsite 13.5 miles to Stourport or 9 miles to Bewdley. In normal water conditions competent scout paddlers should be capable of completing the full distance.
The Unicorn Inn is a commercial campsite and has toilet and shower facilities.
As with the Wye Cruise, all paddlers need to be fully equipped, kayaks will be checked and drivers can take part, a minibus ferry is provided.
Arrival is best on the Friday evening to facilitate an early Saturday morning start and qualified, permit-holding canoeists are available to lead your group on the water if required.
