What paddle boarding adventure have you been on or want to do?

[@gowine504]

certainly a great adventure. I have a stand up paddle board myself. However I do have to acknowledge that picking up plastic on an iSUP is contradicting because the plastic you are standing on is harder to recycle than the plastic you are picking up. iSUPs are made of PVC type 3 non recyclable plastic. All of which will end up in landfill. Companies that produce iSUPs do a great job at covering this truth because they are making profit from it. But they are producing so many, what can we do. Might as well enjoy it. The issue won't be addressed until it becomes an emergency.

I'm from northern Ukraine, just ordered and paid, Gladiator12, 6T, everything is gone, the war, can no longer buy in Ukraine😭, the dream is destroyed. On the board is the most important thing to heal nerves, from war.

[@johnhall7475]

Matt from ALABAMA Brother I hope you have been able to get your board and enjoy it. Paddleboarding is an amazing therapy for more than just the physical benefit. Peace to all.

[@ethicalbunny]

Really enjoyed this! I’m from Shrewsbury and would like to do a big paddle like this! 😊😊

[@trent9222]

What a fun adventure! Gets me excited to explore the lakes and rivers here in Oklahoma.

[@johnhorsfall]

That sound like an awesome adventure Trent, go slow and take your time

[@Jonathan_Williams]

What a pleasant trip down the Severn, apart from the pollution obviously. I'm pretty new to paddle boarding so found this very informative, especially with the what three words locations.

[@jonnyfelgate7825]

What did you do with the plastic you picked up? Surely you’d have had like loads to bring on your board?

[@neilphelps8618]

Great video, would to attempt the same journey. Well done both 👍🏻

[@thecellm8tube]

I never used fins on the river, you don’t need them, i always lower myself on rapids or sit down

[@CromfordCars]

Inspirational...😮

[@adriftonthelot4692]

Thanks for sharing your adventure with the world

[@lynnecook6079]

You could have started at Pool Quay just outside Welshpool!!

[@GatisHarts]

How long was your journey down river Severn?

[@lynnecook6079]

You should have been wearing a helmet thought Jackfield. It's almost as though you have no river safety awareness. You also need river fins.

[@ethicalbunny]

Jackfield??

[@SLPWProduction]

A not very intense set of "rapids"... If you could call them that. I've done them a number of times , not really any danger if you're confident in the water

[@drdrhelmut]

Good on you for picking up all the trash and raising some awareness!

[@razormodz1173]

Well done to both of you!

[@richardkehoe3436]

Fantastic. We'll done. One daft question. What did you do with boards when you went into Town to eat, etc?

[@andyjamieson]

Good adventure but worth setting a good example and wear a PFD! I know you are attached to the bird by a leash but if you required to release due to a snag you’d then have no flotation!

[@Coolsince82]

Great videos Bro💪🏻

[@brolisimo]

Do you need a licence to paddle anywhere in UK or which way does it work?

[@johnhorsfall]

We had a canal and rivers licence which meant we could go through the locks. You can get a 7 day pass and if you are doing touring, it is we worth it. What are you planning?

[@brolisimo]

@@johnhorsfall I am just debating now to buy 3 person kayak/packraft for paddling myself with young sons occasionally. I would use it on lakes, maybe sea shore and would like to do rivers as well where the licence not needed.

[@terrancedactielle5460]

​@brolisimo this section of the river is free to navigate until you get to Stourport. Eventually you can do this trip until Stourport without a licence but after you would need one.

[@brolisimo]

@@terrancedactielle5460 thank you. Up till this moment I found out a lot about which places needs licences, and which don't, and we've done some kayaking already on the sea shore and in some lakes. Now my plan is Atcham-Ironbridge on River Severn, which is free as well(at least was) :)

[@jonlawrance8383]

Just wondering, why chop off top and bottom of the video? We'd be able to see more if it wasn't cropped.

[@danerik.westerlind]

Great adventure! 🤙

[@johnhorsfall]

Yes it was! such an amazing trip and worth it for the week if you get the chance

[@azualbet3805]

What wet/dry suit stuff were you wearing?

[@johnhorsfall]

I had Musto wetsuit trousers and a dry top but in the cold worth getting a dry suit with shoes. Plus a life jacket of some sort

[@lynnecook6079]

There are no rapids in Shrewsbury! We have a Weir which you just get out and round

[@henrywarnell7694]

Great effort. Thanks for taking me along.

[@lynnecook6079]

Shrewsbury is NOT a city!

[@morganpewtner1891]

Awesome, would love to give this a go!

[@KaziShumon]

Nice

[@reviewmyretreat]

Great video 👍

[@johnhorsfall]

Thank you so much for your kind words

[@paddleoutlet]

What an epic paddle!

[@brianlilleyfilms]

Wonderful video!

[@ШНУБЛИККИЛБУНШ]

Молодцы:)!!!Респект и Уважение:)!!!

[@lynnecook6079]

Four hours to walk three miles to the source!

[@johnhorsfall]

There and back plus a bit of time to enjoy the scenery, because it is beautiful around there. Have you been?

[@lynnecook6079]

@@johnhorsfall yes many many times

[@timwood70]

So more of a driving tour than a source to sea

[@johnhorsfall]

In order to get to a point where the water was deep enough for our paddles, we had to drive a bit at the start. The River seven depth changes daily
