Club Paddle – Picnic Point to Como return
This will be a relaxed paddle of about 25km, but with them tides helping in each direction.
We will meet at Picnic Point at 9am to me on the water by 9:30am. We will paddle east to Como a distance of approximately 25km return. Low tide at Como will be when we have lunch (11:30am) and therefore we will be assisted in both directions by the tidal flow making it an easy 25km.
We will paddle past the Georges River NP through the Georges River valley passing under Alfords Bridge and to just past the rail bridge at Como for lunch. The river valley surrounded by low hills covered in a mix of forest and areas of housing making this an interesting local paddle. We are likely to encounter some peer boats and PWC especially around the Georges River NP. The return will by the same route in the opposite direction.
To participate in this paddle you will need a sea kayak of 4.3m or longer, and be able to wet exit. You should be able to paddle for up to 2 hours at a speed of 6kph. Club boats are available for members but you will need to arrange to pick up and transport the boat yourself.
Bring water, food and snacks for the paddle.
