Hospice Care. The Big Avon Paddle takes place on 17 September. The route is a 4.5 mile loop that starts at
The Boathouse (Newbridge Road,
Bath) and turns back at Saltford
Marina (Saltford, Bristol). Paddlers can do the loop as many, or as few, times as they wish!
Dorothy House launched the event last year with huge support from Channel Kayaks and The Boathouse pub. Participants paddled a collective 763 miles on the day and raised over £12,000 for local hospice and end of life palliative care both in the community and at Winsley.
This year, all attendees will be treated to live music throughout the day along with an outside bar serving not only alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and snacks, but ‘fresh out the oven’ pizzas and flat breads too. (Free for every participant.)
Any form of ‘paddle powered’ craft is welcome to take part. Entry is managed by Dorothy House via their website. The entry fee is £20 and all entrants will receive a free event T-shirt as well as refreshments along the route on the day. To find out more about the event or register to participate, visit the website.
