Challenge Routes
We are excited to have launched our new Trent Loop Challenge Route to add to our three challenge routes already in existence .
The Trent Loop Challenge Route takes paddlers 12 miles on the Nottingham and Beeston Canal and the River Trent . Starting and finishing at the National Water Sports Centre , Holme Pierrepont , the route includes three portages and takes you through town and countryside .
Craig Duff , Go Canoeing Support Officer at British Canoeing , went out to paddle the route for us and he told us what he thinks :
“ Nottingham is my home city and so I thought I would feel that I had ‘ been there , done that ’ on a local route but it really gave me a chance to appreciate the heritage of the town .
Due to the length of the route , it is not an easy one to paddle but the miles seem to go by quickly as you look out for all the landmarks and points of interest .
I am excited to see the challenge route launched and look forward to hearing other paddlers experiences of it .”
We are excited to hear that lots of you have been out on the water completing our Challenge Routes and would love to hear about your experiences .
You can register your results through the individual route pages in our challenge routes section . Or , if you would like to let us know more about your adventures , drop us an email here .
