I’ve found the dream way to get about in busy London – paddling along the Thames. Last week I spent a fantastic day with my mates at Tenderstem® and a gang of active girls trying out standup paddleboarding on the river at Putney for #tenderstemtrysomethingdifferent.
We took to the water with the fantastic instructors from Active360 at Kew Bridge. After getting kitted up with hefty boards we drifted along the river in the glorious September sunshine, spotting quirky boats, towering skyscrapers and even a floating beehive before paddling out to Syon Park and then back to the jetty.
After all that hard work we were rewarded with bowls of tasty Tenderstem, which I’ve been a bit obsessed with since filming my Tenderstem camping recipe videos. Check them out if you’re after fuss-free healthy food, as they’re perfect post workout.
This is such a fantastic thing to do in the city. I would love to try it if I’m ever in London 😉
Starting to see this in Northern Ireland too…
What a great outdoor activity and cool way to travel using the river!
I did this recently in my parts (Llangollen) it was an experience and a half. I took a dip in the freezing canal a few times and although I’ve not got the hang of standing up, it’s so much fun and I’m so looking forward to doing more in the warmer weather. I can imagine SUP in London tho was pretty amazing, seeing the city from another angle. I hope they’ve cleared up the Thames now though?
