After an interesting conversation at the AGM about a campsite close to the rapids at Symonds yat, i did a bit of digging and found it! 

Its located at Hoarwithy which is about 9 miles from the rapids so we will have to drive to it!

For CE members its £3 and non members £6 pppn there is a tap, that's it!

Myself and Clare will be visiting Symonds yat on the Sunday 1st May and will be visiting the campsite the night before.

Symonds Yat is an excellent place for anyone who can paddle grade 2, its a short fast rapid with loads of eddies to play on, this will be a pier paddle.

Parking; I like to use the first carpark you come too on the right before the road narrows, the slip is much better than the lower carpark. Its upstream of the rapid so paddling back, there is a bit of up hill paddling. its not at all strenuous.  

You will need ww boat, paddle, spay deck, BA, helmet, dry suit/wetsuit, decent shoes (the way back to the top is a bit rough) food drink, throwline, whistle.

Sign on to either paddle or paddle and camp
