Paddle Angel afternoons 2026

PRIVATE fortnightly paddle on tuesdays (until 14 July) for the Paddle Angel crew only. This session is funded by Active Thames and run at Islington Boat Club. We have six spaces for paddleboards and 12 for kayaks. Swaps possible during our time on the water. Just go ahead and book and we'll sort it out on the day.

Please only book if you are from Better Lives or Healthy Minds Healthy Bods and have discussed paddling with Alison or Lawrence.

The Friday paddles are just for kayaks (have a go!)

Friday 31 July, 14 August, 21 August and 11 September. from 6.30-8pm

On Tuesdays please arrive on time for the session to start at 2.30pm or if on a Friday, 6.30pm.

On the water you will need to wear exercise clothes - leggings, shorts, Tshirt and maybe another layer. No jeans. You must wear shoes as the canal bottom is full of sharp items. Beach shoes or old trainers are ideal. If you need to borrow our old trainers bring extra socks. If it's hot wear a hat.

Because you might fall in on these fun paddles please also bring a spare set of clothes, just in case.

We will provide a windproof kayak (coat) if you need it and a bouyancy aid.
