Visiting the Lee Valley White Water Centre

James — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 12:02:28 +0000

Just a update for you, it says on the lee valley website that the centre is open the the public to walk around at any time, however upon arrival yesterday (grandparents wanted a visit) we was told that Monday to Thursday the centre is closed to the public due to school use. so unfortunately we were not allowed in to see the course. Hope this stops some of you guys having a wasted trip.

Paddling the legacy loop at Lee Valley White Water Centre

James — Sat, 14 May 2011 09:00:46 +0000

on Tuesday 10 may i was lucky enough to paddle the legacy loop at the Lee Valley White Water Centre, the course was great fun and I managed to film myself going down the course, The video below shows the course and some of its waves and features, I am sorry the quality is not brilliant i will try and get a better one next time i visit the centre. You can see from the video I am using my trusted Hiko gear that is designed for white water use. Take a look at my reviews category for all my reviews on Hiko’s gear.
