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:
L lyn tegi d ( Wa l e s - 7 M i l e s )
Wi n dermere (En gl a n d - 1 1 M i l e s )
L och Awe (scotl a n d - 2 5 M i l e s )
“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.”
