Our canal sessions are held in the Basingstoke Canal at Odiham. 

During the Summer we meet at the Colt Hill Wharf on Wednesday and Friday evenings. We also meet on many Saturday mornings throughout the year (depending on the weather and other club activities - you need to check the Club calendar.) 

The Wednesday evening session is the Club's regular social paddle.  We meet from 6.30pm and aim to be on the water by 7.00pm. We are generally finished by nine (finish time depends on daylight.)

The Friday evening session is aimed at children and family paddlers. We meet from 6.00pm and aim to be on the water by 6.30 and finish by 7.30pm.  For more details click here.

The Basingstoke Canal is suitable for all abilities, including complete beginners.

Boats and other paddling kit are stored in Colt Hill Clubhouse, which is adjacent to the Basingstoke Canal at Colth Hill Wharf, Odiham.  If you need to borrow kayaks, canoes or other kit please arrive 10 to 15 minutes earlier so kit can be sorted out for you.

The Club has had an active group of white water paddlers since around 1990.
