Coming down the hill into Dartmouth
After you come down the hill into Dartmouth follow the one way system and just after you go round the corner and are parallel with the river turn into the Dinghy Park, which is where you can park to get ready.
This is the launch slipway. Make sure you launch down the right hand side of the slip and not down the middle as the car ferry comes in on the central section! Totnes (up river) is to the left of this pic. The water will be flowing from right to left on the day of the race.
Here you can see the car ferry at the slipway. Once you launch we recommend hanging around in this area to the right of the slipway before paddling across and up river to the start line.
The Start line is on the other side of the river – just below the white house up on the hill on the left of the picture.
The Dartmouth Rowing Club, Just behind the slipway
The Floating Bridge pub just next to the rowing club. A good place to meet up with fellow paddlers before the race – 2 Mineral waters please!
