Does anybody know of any flat water rivers in the North of England which has goood access for kayaks?

Answer 1

No, sorry, I live in British Columbia, Canada, come here and there are lots of flatwater rivers. I hope you have fun though, why not check Google Maps and input a City near the area you are thinking of, and maybe something will come up. Good Luck, and happy paddling.

Answer 2

Hi

Depends where u are.  I'm in Lancashire and usu. paddle rivers, but lake Coniston in the Lake District is nice, and there's a P&D car park just after Water Yeat at the South West corner with has a great place to get onto the lake.

I think you can paddle on Hollingworth Lake, near Rochdale.

Look on the British Canoe Union page http://www.bcu.org.uk/  or ask Brookbank Canoes for advice http://www.brookbankcanoes.co.uk/
