Would you like to spend Sunday on the water at an action packed fresh water lake with all sorts of water-sports taking place? Stand Up Paddle Boarding is a sociable adventure sport for all abilities and ages, or just to enjoy with your ODL friends. Hire or your or bring your own board, paddle and life jacket and take to the beautiful clear spring fed water. It’s a good test of balance and a great way to see the stunning lakes.
Spring Lakes also has an AquaPark inflatable assault course on the water, offering a range of inflatable slides, climbing walls and a variety of obstacles including an epic swing to catapult yourself off! You will also see people open water swimming, kayaking and wakeboarding.
CRUCIAL! After signing up to this event you need to book your place on the Spring Lake website in advance to avoid disappointment. An hour of paddle-boarding (SUP) will cost you £25, and includes hire of Life Jacket, Paddle and SUP Board, details of how to book are in the location information below. Once you have booked your slot (for 11.00am), please confirm you've booked in the comments section below. If you're bringing your own gear the launch fee is £15 for 2 hours on the water.
Of course this is still an outstandingly beautiful area for a walk, abundant with birdlife, including shovelers, wigeon, goldeneyes and teal. So afterwards you're welcome to join me for a short walk to Attenborough Nature reserve.
