But . . .
Don’t forget that the river is there for you to enjoy all year round (although we suggest you stay away in times of flood, or strong flows!). Your craft must be registered with the Environment Agency, or you must be a member of the British Canoe Union.
During the long days of summer it is possible to do the whole trip in a single day – but we suggest you have a back-up team for some of the logistics!
The Environment Agency have produced a very good guide for paddlers on the River Stour telling you all about the portages, the launching sites and gives details of the camp-site.
- You can download a copy from the Environment Agency website (go to www.environment-agency.gov.uk and type ‘River Stour’ in the search box).
- Alternatively, pay the River Stour Trust £1 (to cover post and packing) and we will send you a copy printed of damp proof paper. Only whilst stocks last- please contact us!
The River Stour Trust do not have any canoes, kayaks, or rowing boats for hire. However, Whoosh Explore may be able to help you in this regard:
