Kayaking in the UK is often a cold wet affair, and with a hard winters paddle, our thoughts
often stray to
warner places abroad. However, cost of flights, plus the additional charges of hauling kayaks and
gear overseas, is less
than appealing.
Only a day's drive away, the Southern French Alps boasts a generally warm,
sunny climate, beautiful
mountains, great food and drink, but most importantly, loads and loads of fantastic whitewater runs
to suit all
abilities!
Being able to drive there with a roof rack full of boats is a great advantage. Numerous ferry
companies run regular
channel crossing services from Dover.
Driving from the French Channel Port normally takes about
12 hours in total, so
the best way to tackle this is to share driving if you're travelling in a group.

kayaking journey by booking a ferry here!
