The club has two fibreglass Salters punts - wide and stable
craft,
these boats can accommodate at least 4 passengers + a
punter. Complete with aluminium punting poles, paddles (for
the deep bits!) and seat cushions. What better way to spend
an evening on the river? Both boats have full covers to save
bailing before each outing. They are ideal for families
outings or a short overnight tour - accommodating camping
gear shouldn't be a problem.
Based at The Swan at Streatley between the Goring and Cleeve
locks. The reach is rather short but still there is lots to
explore. It is possible to navigate up to Goring mill along
the narrow cut....only for the adventurous! Care needs to be
taken at both ends of the reach - the weirs should be
avoided!
If you want to go further a field then why not go through
the locks (note the time they close for your return
journey). Above Cleeve you can head for the Leathern Bottel,
or Beatle & Wedge and even camp on the islands above the
railway bridge. Down stream below Goring lock you can pole
down to Child-Beale.
