Strong breeze 20 May 2023
Great route, Info is still good. Got 7.5km in on paddle boards and the breeze in our face was strong enough to cause a few waves so turned around and let the wind guide us to the start and somehow into a pub. Oops. Oh well. Thank you for the route and info #128077;#127996;#128077;#127996;

Can I assume the current is not strong around St Neots and that it would not be hard paddling upstream for a while Anyone know Thanks

If you want to make this part of a two day trip there is a Camping & Caravan Club Site on the right bank half a mile before the start of this trip. Do this trip camp overnight and then continue to Huntingdon the next day.
