Paddle for Purpose

Take on a brand-new challenge with our exciting Paddle for Purpose event. Set off from Bathampton and complete a 10km out and back route on the Kennet and Avon Canal.

We are delighted that our ambassador, BBC’s Flog it presenter Paul Martin, will be taking on the challenge too, so come along and join him on the water. 

Registration is £25 per person, and we ask all participants to raise a minimum of £100 in sponsorship for our vital work as a Charity.

Included in entry is: 

• Use of craft

• Parking 

• Pre-planned route 

• Qualified instructors 

• Refreshments 

• Fundraising tips 

Choose your craft, whether that is a paddleboard, kayak or canoe, and enjoy a rewarding experience while supporting our lifesaving cause.

You can take part on your own or join forces as part of a tandem. If you are looking for something a bit different, we also have mega paddleboards available for team entries. Please get in touch if you would like to take part in this way. 

This event is supported by the Wiltshire Outdoor Learning Team (WOLT).

We encourage participants to use WOLTS’s equipment, however if you would prefer to bring your own, it must be checked and approved as safe before entering the water. Their instructors reserve the right to refuse participation if equipment is not deemed suitable.

Join us for an exciting and rewarding day on the water!
