Touring: Oare to Faversham.
19th June 2016 @ 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
I am organising trip from Oare across The Swale to Harty then down Faversham Creek.
Timetable.
Meet at boathouse at 8.30, load boats and leave by 9.00.
Arrive at Oare car park, Church Road, Oare ME13 0QA (free but NO toilets) at 10.15
Launch at 11.00.
Paddle across The Swale to Harty and paddle against the tide for a mile or so hopefully to spot some seals.
We then cross back over The Swale to Horse Sands to look for seals and wildlife, then into Faversham Creek and paddle up to the Town Quay for a packed lunch.
HW is at 14.48.
We leave soon after and return to Oare by 16.00
I hope to return to the boathouse by 17.30.

and a chart of Faversham Creek is at:-

and zoom in on both.
This 10 mile trip involves paddling across the tide and for a short time against it and paddlers should be of a 2* standard.
This is an inter-club trip with our friends from Bewl Water and Maidstone Canoe Clubs.
If you would like more information please contact me here or at the boathouse on the next two Saturday mornings.
