Paddle Group

NW U3A Paddle group is a group of kayakers/canoeists who meet to enjoy a paddle around the broads. We are a friendly and inclusive bunch of people with a variety of interests and backgrounds. Once out on the water it is absolutely wonderful and every single trip is different.

​

Items you will need if you decide to join our group are as follows:

 

Broads authority or Paddle UK Licence

 

An appropriate buoyancy aid which fits correctly (must not be too big)

 

Packed lunch including a drink

 

A change of clothing and a towel

​

We warmly welcome canoeists and kayakers to join us. However, please note that we do not have any equipment, canoes, or kayaks available for loan, although you can hire them at some of our launching sites.

 

Most Fridays* (between April and October) one member will be the point of contact for that day and you should contact them if you would like to go out.

 

The session will be cancelled if unforeseen circumstances occur or there are adverse weather conditions: you will be informed by 8.00am that morning.

 

Please notify the point of contact if you have any medical conditions that may affect your ability to paddle.We always carry a list of members and their emergency contacts. The point of contact always carries a mobile phone.

We meet at a variety of launch sites on the Northern Broads most Fridays* between April and October aiming for a 10.30 start on the water.

 

Most trips last 2-3 hours. If you are interested in joining, please click the Contact button below for further information.
