Ellerton Lake Paddle and Rescue Practise Sunday 22/11/2026
We are planning a paddle around the lake at Ellerton,near Richmond. Details of the location can be found at https://ellertonpark.com. Please note there is a £10 launch fee per craft.
This trip is on sheltered water and is open to all paddlers who have attended club sessions and have completed a safety test,
It is planned to use the trip to practise some rescues at the end of the paddle. This would be ideally suited to anyone looking to take the Paddlesport Instructor or Leader training.
Temperatures will be colder so warm and quick drying clothing is required, along with a change of clothes just in case. There will be an opportunity to practise self rescue/deep water rescue. The water temperature is approx 10.5 degrees so a Drysuit or good wetsuit is essential if looking to practise these.
Timings are -Meet at 10.00 am at the car park to be on the water for 10.30. with approx 1.5 hours paddling followed by 1 hour rescue practise if required. Therefore off the water by 1.00 PM. There is no cafe so please bring any snack or drinks required
