Type: Gentle Touring (approx 3-3.5 hours)
Suitability: All Levels
Bankside Access: It does look like on the map that there is a possible to walk along most of the sections, you can walk along the Thames section using Shiplake Public Footpath and then whilst there is a small section you can’t follow, you can pick back up again along Loddon Drive (although water visibility maybe limited) and then from there you can re-join back up to the main road and get to the George and Dragon.
Location: The St George & Dragon, High St, Wargrave, Reading RG10 8HY (view map)
Food: Please bring a drink and snacks for the river, we have booked for 12 people for lunch at the George and Dragon Pub.
Description:
We plan to paddle from the George and Dragon Pub up the Thames over 1 lock and back down St. Patrick’s Stream, and so have booked lunch in at the pub as its car park is right along the riverside. If we find we get a significant amount of interested however we split into two groups and have one group do an alternative route as described here.
St Patrick’s Stream is a delightful tributary and backwater of the river Thames, near Wargrave in Berkshire. The stream flows from the Thames dropping off about five feet over two miles, joining the River Loddon which then flows back into the Thames. There is a small flow that meanders around picturesque bends.
Costs:
This event is FREE.
