Lee Valley White Water rafting and canoeing - I investigated whether they have any large regional or international events during 2017 similar to the Olympics Year but nothing booked in 2017 although they think we could get good photo opportunities from keen enthusiasts during a normal public day meet.
These are called Paddling Days and start from 10am on Thursday through to Sundays.
No mention of charge unless you wish to try some canoeing and will double check if anyone wishes to attend plus those with Freedom passes the Tube and Overground goes almost to the door.
Please confirm interest as suitable dates could be sometime during the Spring or Summer
I would be interested in another visit, my print "Whirlpool" was taken there last summer. I do suspect they don't fire up the big Olympic course (the volume of water they have to push around is phenomenal) but I could be wrong, the smaller "public" course is certainly worth a visit. If it was in use the Olympic course would be spectacular (with a long lens ?). Good refreshment area there as well.
