November\, Jubilee River\, probably launching near Maidenhead and coming
out at Windsor. there are 3 weirs to be played with preferably in flat bot
tom boats such as play or white water boats\, see picture coming next. You
should have experienced some moving water (i.e. been away from the canal
) and be competent with a spray deck and capsize drills. the total distanc
e is close to 9 miles but with some flow\, so as a gauge if you can do ash
lock and back in a play boat you’ll be ok. The weirs are portage-able but
those wanting to give them a try will take priority. This will be a peer
paddle as its outside my remit for sheltered water. we will be in the hand

\n\nThe River Medway is a major river in the South East of England i n the county of Kent. Stretching from High Weald in Sussex\, through Tonbr idge and Maidstone\, the river ends where it meets the Thames estuary near Sheerness.
\nIt is an ideal touring adventure. Great for recreation al users and those looking for multi day-trips. It has some gentle grade 1 rapids but otherwise the river is a lovely flat\, green wilderness paddle .
\nThe River Medway is a popular river for canoeing. The river has a length of 120 kilometres\, but the navigable non-tidal part runs from To nbridge to Maidstone and has a length of 29 km\, the Medway Canoe Trail. From Tonbridge you can mak e an extra round trip of 4 km upstream. This round is very popular by loca l people. You can paddle the full 29 km in one day\, but most people do it in 2 days and camp on the way.
