The Plan
An urban adventure and night paddle through the Olympic Park and past the Olympic Stadium. If you’ve never canoed before that’s fine. This adventure is suitable for anyone (18 years and over).
At 5km, the route follows the newly accessible Olympic loop on the River Lea taking in The Olympic Stadium, The Orbit (the tallest sculpture in the UK). We will then pass through the wilder sections of Stratford Marsh. Our journey home will see us travel up the Lea Navigation back to Hackney Wick where you can find various waterside bars. We finish this adventure directly outside Barge East: a floating bar and restaurant with lovely outdoor decking, great food and drinks.
