About:

On this trip you will be lead by our experienced and qualified member of our team.

This trip starts in Bridgnorth and takes you through the beautiful countryside to Hampton Loade. To make this a full day you can catch the Severn Valley Railway back to Bridgnorth. Alternatively leave a car at the end, get a taxi or bus.

This guided session is for people with some experience of Stand Up Paddleboarding and you must be able to swim. If you are new to this activity, please book our taster session first which will prepare you for the guided trip down the River Severn. We only have three guided sessions running in 2024 so please book early to avoid disappointment. Dates include: 15th June, 10th July & 28th July 2024.

Our brand new inflatable SUPs are 11 foot long.

  • Wetsuits are optional and most people find they are not necessary once the water is warmer. Please provide your own wetsuit if you wish to wear one.
  • We recommend you wear comfortable clothing that dry quickly such as leggings/shorts and a T-shirt. No jeans. You will be provided with a buoyancy aid to wear on top.
  • Spare clothes to store in your dry bag, should you get wet & a towel.
  • Depending on the weather forecast, a water proof to go over the top of your clothes to keep the wind out.
  • Suncream, sunglasses and a hat (if sunny).
  • Enough water to drink and food to eat, SUPing is physical, and you will need to re-fuel.
  • Shoes you do not mind getting wet. It's important to wear shoes on the board to protect your feet if you fall in. Remember to bring a spare pair to change into afterwards.

Collection Point: You finish your tour in Hampton Loade.
