Packrafting On The Thames In London

Book Extract

Miraculously, a sunny spell spanned the Easter bank holiday weekend, so I took the new TXL down the Thames for its maiden voyage. At Putney I caught the remains of a spring tide but dithered too much so only had an hour until it turned at London Bridge and pushed back up the river. Never mind, I’ll get as far as I get and hop out anywhere there are some steps or a ladder. With a packraft it’s easily done.

You will see from the photos what a wonderful place this is to packraft!
