I certainly aim to do that and invite you to do the same by enjoying and respecting the routes in this book. They were chosen carefully and don’t include trips to particularly sensitive and fragile environments. I’ve also left plenty of blue spaces in the South West for the curious to discover for themselves, while also respecting the hidden places known only to local groups. You can always ask them: I’m sure they’ll share. Also excluded are places where local Wildlife Trusts and other conservation organisations feel paddling will be detrimental to wildlife. Some of the paddles can be accessed by public transport, especially if you have an iSUP, but many are by car owing to the transport of kit. Only official parking spots with recognised access to the water are included and lift shares are encouraged, where possible, to ease pollution and congestion.

Although every journey can be an adventure, the joy of paddling for many people is simply being on the water and engaging every one of our senses. Watch ring-like patterns form as heavy raindrops hit the water or the light dancing across a river’s surface; breathe in the ozone of the ocean, the sweet smell of river water, and enjoy the fresh taste of spring-fed lakes. The sound of a paddle dipping beneath the water’s surface, the emptying of tidal creeks heralded by the cries of wading birds looking for their next meal, the gentle song of rivers flowing on their eternal journey to the ocean. All these sensory experiences increase our ‘blue health’, and all are beloved by paddlers. A luxury Bunk Barn and a simple Camping Barn on a working organic farm with a farmhouse B&B.
