Kayaking the Aire and Calder Navigation

Camping weekend !

You will need your own kit, both for the camping and for the kayaking.

You do, technically, need a waterways license to paddle an inland watercourse above the tidal limit in all but a very few cases. I have never been asked for my license but it is a requirement nonetheless.

Membership from https://paddleuk.org.uk/ includes this license, which puts money back into the Canal and River Trust (among others) and thereby keeps these watercourses open for us all.

As per usual: Turn up on Friday night, then kayaking on the Saturday (need to split the cars for shuttle service) then on the Sunday either kayaking again on a different stretch, or maybe a nice hike, depending upon what people feel at the time / what the weather does.

I have a camp site agreed at the back of a nearby pub - but it's very small and basic, no showers.
