Hampton - Molesey

Hampton & Molesey on the Surrey / Middlesex border near Hampton Court Palace. It is an interesting AquaPaddle as the route takes the AquaPaddlers around several islands in the Thames, Platts Eyot and Tagg’s Island.

There is a great community of AquaPaddlers, with the start line just by Hampton Canoe Clubs clubhouse. There is a regular mix of both Paddleboards and Kayaks, with enough space for up to 40 AquaPaddlers.

The Hampton – Molesey crew come from a diverse set of backgrounds and if you are interested in volunteering to join the crew please contact us through the Discord Comms System or email AquaPaddle. A local AquaPaddle Captain will get in touch to learn more about your experience and what you would like to do.

All paddlers are welcome. The AquaPaddle App always paddlers to choose the Watercraft they are going to paddle when registering for the AquaPaddle. AquaPaddlers, if they have multiple craft types can try out their different types at different AquaPaddlers. It makes it fun and interesting to see which is fastest.

The Route passes several historic locations. There is Hampton Church and Garrick’s Temple to Shakespeare. Platts Eyot where Torpedo and Gun boats were built in the two World Wars of the last century. There is still an active boatyard there today. Molesey Boat Club where many successful Olympic Rowers have trained.
