River access times this week 🌊

Enjoy a paddle down the River Hamble! Launch from Fairthorne offers parking by the water, a sheltered spot, and a hose to wash off your craft.

🚣To ensure your spot down by our river, you will need to book in advance online here - https://ymca-fg.cinolla.com/category/community-activities. If you don't and it is too busy, we will unfortunately have to turn you away.

Please make sure you check the tide times before arrival - our booking is by the day, however, we can only grant you access to the site when the water is accessible, so you will need to check the tide times to know when to show up (these are posted weekly, or you can see in advance on our tide times sheet online.)
