Branscombe Charton or the Estuary Paddle
Club Paddle Adventure – Mystery Paddle: Branscombe, Charton Bay or Estuary Explorer!
Suitable for kayak and tandem canoe paddling.
Join us for a fun and flexible short day paddle launching from the clubhouse, with the exact route chosen on the day depending on conditions. We could head along the coast towards Branscombe or Charton Bay, or enjoy a peaceful paddle up the estuary—either way, expect lovely scenery and great company!
This is a shorter paddle of around 6 miles, making it ideal for a relaxed outing and perfect if you fancy an easier day or a gentle paddle.
Meet time: To be confirmed
