they\u2019d be great for a tour somewhere. Starting close to home made logistics very straightforward, so our first SUP tour took us from Aylestone, Leicester to Newark via the Soar and the Trent. It was our first UK river trip and turned out to be a great way to spend the August bank holiday period. Being on the water might not be for you, but there\u2019s miles of footpaths and towpaths to enjoy. It\u2019s easy to overlook the areas close to home, yet there\u2019s great beauty in this relatively busy area of the Midlands. We even saw Otters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/DebB_SUP1_1.jpg\" alt=\"SK 568 009 Launching in Aylestone, Leicester, near the Packhorse Bridge\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><small>SK 568 009 Launching in Aylestone, Leicester, near the Packhorse Bridge<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you do a quick search for river tours in the UK, the Wye and Severn get the most hits. Really keen to take our new SUPs on a tour, we started looking into the hows and wheres of getting to a river and home again at the again. It started to get a bit complicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We live near Leicester. A river goes right through the city, we cycle along on it all the time. Why not see where that one goes? A quick route plan showed that following the Soar to the Trent, turning East (with the flow) was a definite option. To get home, we just needed a train station. Newark seemed to be about 70 ish miles away and the station was near the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had five days and backed ourselves to get speedy enough at paddling to cover the distance needed. From a complicated drive to here, get a train and bus back to the start, etc., we now had a ten-minute taxi ride to our launch point near the iconic Packhorse Bridge, and a two section train ride back to our village. Packing took some thought \u2013 we would be bivvying two of the nights and needed enough warm clothes to counter any bad weather or unplanned swims (both of these happened).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 1 &amp; 2: Finding our balance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first morning paddling through Leicester was a lot of fun, if a bit tiring hauling the packs and the boards out for the locks. It was great seeing places from the water that we were so familiar with from land. We looked out for big landmarks like the football stadium and Space Centre, (hard to miss) and smaller ones, like favourite pubs or picnic places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North of the city we enjoyed peaceful Watermead Park, a great place to wander with several lakes and grassy areas. Our first night was a friend\u2019s place in Barrow \u2013 first day distance about fifteen miles. First day locks also fifteen. Four tired arms on this pair of paddlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/DebB_SUP4.jpg\" alt=\"SK 581 035 Getting more confident after a couple of hours paddling through Leicester\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><small>SK 581 035 Getting more confident after a couple of hours paddling through Leicester<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day we felt fresher than expected, until turning towards Loughborough a particularly consistent head wind hit our speed. A friend met us along the towpath walking her dog. She had to slow down her walking pace to stay chatting to us. It was hard work, but still also fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We both went to university in Loughborough, so another chance to see a place we knew well from a different perspective. I suspect the friend was slightly relieved to turn back and walk at a normal pace. North of Loughborough, the scenery and villages were delightful. Opinion helped by a well-timed tea and cake at a boat club. We camped that night at Redhill Marina, with only a few miles left before the Soar met the Trent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/DebB_SUP2.jpg\" alt=\"SK 564 183 These flood locks are much easier on the arms!

Just North of Barrow-upon-Soar<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Day 3: An island, nature reserve and marina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day 3 began mizzly and got a bit wetter for 50% of us after an unplanned bath by a lock. It is pretty hefting the dry packs up onto higher banks \u2013 not all portage points are created equal. The rain got heavier throughout the morning, but our speed really picked up. After a lot of canal on days 1 and 2, the river Trent pushed us along \u2013 we were zipping past the walkers now. Despite the damp, there were a few highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We explored a little island that belongs to the scouts and enjoyed a peaceful paddle through the Attenborough Nature Reserve. It was so peaceful we noticed a few ripples and something diving in and out the water ahead. Three otters! Ducking and swimming right past us. I\u2019ve sat and waited hoping to see otters on several of our trips with no luck, so the excitement lasted through a giant breakfast for lunch at Beeston Marina. The weather was a lot wetter and windier through West Bridgeford. After a few days on the boards our balance had got a lot better so we could manage the choppy water and wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/DebB_SUP3.jpg\" alt=\"SK 693 445 Relaxing paddling on day 4, better weather, better at paddling\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><small>SK 693 445 Relaxing paddling on day 4, better weather, better at paddling<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Days 4 &amp; 5: reaching Newark Castle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Days 4 &amp; 5 were much calmer, the wind and the river both helped us along, so we treated ourselves to some longer breaks, enjoying riverside food stops and meeting friends in a handy pub. On the last night we bivvied on the edge of a field and met the friendly farmer the next morning who told us all about the area. We sped along to Newark and by lunchtime were rolling up the boards in the park opposite Newark Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hopping on the train home with our dry bags and paddles, we were very happy to have stayed local \u2013 we saw otters, great scenery, and friends could join us on the way. Best of all, the tip home to a brew and biscuits was less than two hours. We just tried not to dwell on the fact that it had taken us five days to do the outbound journey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning your trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/DebB_SUP6.jpg\" alt=\"SK 795 540 Packed up opposite Newark Castle \u2013 packing light really helped with portages\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><small>SK 795 540 Packed up opposite Newark Castle \u2013 packing light really helped with portages<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paddleboarding isn\u2019t as hard as the walkers we talked to on the route seemed to think. I would definitely recommend trying it if you have somewhere to hire boards and\/or get tuition near you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re along the route of our trip, there are a few places to hire\/learn paddlesports, including&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lopc.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leicester Outdoor Pursuits Centre<\/a>, Barrow-upon-Soar, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nwscnotts.com\/nwsc\/paddle-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Holme Pierrepont<\/a>. If you\u2019re paddling independently, always check river conditions and make sure you have the necessary licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before planning overnight trips make sure you have early \u2018get out\u2019 options if things don\u2019t go to plan and are competent and confident paddling longer distances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We used&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OS maps<\/a>&nbsp;to make sure we were choosing the river correct forks, though most were clearly signed. If staying on dry land is more your style, there\u2019s great walking at Watermead Park, the Attenborough Nature Reserve, and miles of towpath along both rivers with lots to look at, including in the cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/en\/route\/4057270\/Stand-Up-Paddleboarding-Midlands-river-trip?referrer=GET_OUTSIDE\"
