Kayaking The Mighty River Tees - Source to Sea
Kayaking The Mighty River Tees - Source to Sea
The river Tees is one of the finest kayaking rivers in the UK, with everything on offer from very challenging white water to mellow scenic cruising with a bit of interesting industrial landscape thrown in for good measure.
This is the story of my navigable source to sea journey, with only two very short portages.

    What amazing trips from Source to Sea. That tumble down the last few feet of the the Water fall must have smarted a bit? I have tried what was meant to be white water in a touring boat from Daly Bridge to Matlock as a total novice and That was a baptism of fire for me. Not put me off, but the speed that some of the water was flowing to someone like me is mind blowing. That was part of a Leadership Assessment weekend, and I was a Guinea Pig to be lead. Was meant to be up grade 2, but heavy rain had other ideas. Wet exits twice and one was pinning my boat between me and a small tree. That was fun, but lots of shouting from the bank, as I was having fun trying to free my boat and them swim to the bank. Will try it again at some point but in a boat more suited to the water. Brilliant video as ever Bob.

    Wow, where to start. What a bloody fantastic video with some awesome footage. I really liked the flashback stuff too, like watching you head down that huge fall, what a great job you did very impressive, but when you flipped at the end it looked like you hit your head bloody hard. Thumbs-up to the safety guy watching because he was straight in and heading over to you. Your skill level is very impressive watching you hit the waves, but your mate wins the gold for sitting there with his paddle under his chin. But you also win a Gold for that long skid into the river at the beginning 👍 This really was a great to watch video and I intend to watch it again.

    Hi Bob, Peter here from Aus. I am an avid follower of your adventures. I particularly like the way you use a single camera to great effect. I appreciate the fact that you are happy to kayak solo on some of your adventures. I know how difficult it is to find paddles buddies after retirement. Mostly they are doing anything but participating in ""risky"adventures"". Loved seeing the Firth of Forth bridge from your angle. A beautiful structure I have only observed via Michael Portillo's rail journeys. Thanks so much for the opportunity to see more of the kayaking destination of my dreams. Scotland, and in particular the inner Hebrides.

We were stopped in traffic and could see them bringing in a span of the bridge. Sadly wasn't there long enough to see it put into position. I did try last year to go over it, but cocked up and ended up Glasgow way instead, on our way to Oban to camp for the night before heading on to Mull.
