The Strand Gillingham to Upper Upnor
Sunday 16th June 2019.

Apologies for such short notice, I am organising a trip from The Strand, Gillingham to Upper Upnor.

Timetable.
Meet at Boathouse at 09.00 to collect boats and equipment.
Leave at 9.30.
Arrive at The Strand Car Park, Gillingham, (22 miles) ME 7 1TT at 10.15.
The car park is now pay and display so please bring £4 in change and unload boats by slipway before you pay to park.
Launch at 10.45.
Cross shipping lane to south of Hoo Ness Island and follow shore east and, if interest go inside island.
Then head north to Port Werburgh.
Continue along northern shore past the sailing clubs and Upnor Castle to Upper Upnor for lunch.
HW is at 13:03, so we will leave about 14:00.

Cross to south shore and follow to Corporation Wharf, Chatham to view restored boats.
Return to The Strand slipway by 16.00.
Retire to café for those who want to.
I hope to be back at the boathouse by 17.30. 

This is a round trip of 7½ miles/12K with tidal assistance.
Paddlers should be of a 2* standard.

This will be an inter-club trip with our friends from Bewl and Maidstone Canoe Clubs.
