    • BOXTED – alternative portage route is in operation.
    • PITMIRE WEIR BY LAMARSH – DO NOT paddle through the old lock channel (under the wooden bridge) because the river is so low that underwater hazards will cause damage to craft. Instead follow the course of the river AROUND the island.
    • REEDS – Single file stretches with lots of tight turns particularly between Bures Mill and Langham Flumes.
    • TREES – There are some fallen trees impeding the route – proceed with caution.
    • LOW WATER LEVEL – Notably low on the stretch after the Nayland Anchor so likely that you’ll be walking with your craft rather than paddling it.
    • LOCKS – Cornard, Flatford, Dedham and Stratford St Mary wil be operated for limited periods.
  • CRAFT HIRE (from Official S2C Hire Partner)
  • S2C FULL INFORMATION PACK (comprising all information – this will be provided before the weekend both electronically with some printed copies also available)

Boxted portage information – Boxted Bridge remains fully closed to all vehicles and pedestrians as well as the navigation underneath. Signage and navigation closure booms are in place due to concerns of possible bridge collapse.

RST is granted permission by both the Environment Agency and the landowner to install a temporary portage using use the agreed alternative portage route for S2C in lieu of the more permanent solution yet to be installed.
