Paddling The River Wey

In this video I paddle the wild, natural course of The River Wey in Surrey, UK, (not to be confused with the Wey Navigation, featured in another video).

This beautiful section is perfect for kayaks and canoes, although the current might be a little bit too fast for stand up paddle boards. This was a four hour afternoon paddle on a sunny summer Sunday - bliss!

Being something of a hidden away backwater that flows through the Royal Horticultural Society’s gardens at Wisley, the wildlife and scenery is simply stunning. Flowering water weeds pass under you like underwater gardens, joined by a host of colourful lily pads, a variety of waterfowl, and LOTS of dragonfly!

I hope you enjoy it, and if you think I should make more videos like this (or not!) then please let me know in the comments.

Thanks,

Stevie
