Saturday 13 September saw some 290 craft launch from The Granary in Quay Lane, to make their way over two days, to reach the Cattawade Barrage on Sunday afternoon. This was the River Stour Trust’s annual event, Sudbury to the Sea (S2C as it is affectionately called by regular participants!). The aim of the event is to encourage people to get afloat, to use and enjoy the River Stour and to maintain the right of navigation along the river. The funds raised by the event are put to good use in looking after the river, and helping to restore and refurbish the locks which the Trust looks after. This year the craft included two coracles (regular participants) and some six paddle boards, as well as the odd row boat and canoes of all shapes and sizes. The participants ranged in age from 4 to – well it’s not polite to ask someone’s age, is it? Most of them completed the 24.5 mile course in good order, having refreshed themselves at various watering points along the way, and camped overnight at Rushbanks Farm in Wissington. The event was manned by some 60 volunteers, members of the Trust, who form a complex team to ensure that the event runs safely and smoothly, supported by the Environment Agency, and some friends of members. Tasks included paperwork, manning portages, paddling the sweeper boats to make sure no-one was left behind, brewing cups of tea at the beginning, middle and end, not to mention the bacon sandwiches at the start and on Sunday morning. Photos courtesy Nick Moore Following this year’s event, plans are already afoot to do it all again in 2015 – the proposed dates are 11 and 12 September.
