The team here at Alive have uploaded a few of our favourite paddles to get things going (on rivers here in Staffordshire near where we are based in Burton on Trent), and also listed a few of the well known
paddle trails from around the UK.
But we need loads more! That is where you can help us by suggesting routes and trails that you know about. And giving some info on those we have already listed, especially if you have paddled them and possibly have some pics too?
We wanted to set some guidelines for our list of the SUP100, so came up with the following:
- At least 3km in length (no upper limit but should be able to complete within 6 hours).
- The section of water should be open to the public to use and paddle (with or without a Waterways Licence e.g. Canal and Rivers Trust).
- Have a clearly accessible entry and exit points on public land with parking or drop off facilities, or at least within walkable distance with a board and equipment.
- Not too challenging terrain to get the board and yourself on to and out of the water.
- You have paddled the trail (!), and hence be able to provide insight and knowledge in the form below.
- You know the what3words reference for both the entry and exit points (these can be found at: www.what3words.com)
If you have a favourite paddle trail that you think should be in the list, and possibly in the top 100, then get in touch and send us the details using the Suggest a Trail form.
All very exciting…
