Chelmer Tour 2014


With the Weather compleatly on our side The Chelmer tour was well atended with 26 paddlers in 22 boats supported by Bramston CC, Tiptree scouts, Tendering CC, Maldon and Dengie CC, Chelmsford CC and some independent paddlers. Starting at Springfield getting on the water for 10:30 after the car shuttle. Progress was good with everyone chipping in all helping each other on the portages. At Stoneham Lock we all stopped for lunch, some with picnic baskets and champagne (very civilised). After paper mill we bumped into a group of open boaters from Stour boating who said they would be joining the tour next year. Thanks to June at Hoe mill for allowing us to use the camping field to park the cars. From email feed back I think everyone had a great day on the Chelmer.
