Doggy Paddles 2021

Doggy Paddles at Shaw's Bridge

2021 Doggy Paddle dates for this coming year.

Doggy Paddle canoeing experiences will finally get afloat starting Sunday 16 May at 9.30am. As we have missed so many dates already due to Covid, additional dates are now available for our Shaw’s Bridge, Belfast, Doggy Paddles. Fingers crossed the doggy paddles will run every month until December if we get good weather and the water levels are favorable. So come and join me and my dog Ed for this dog friendly activity!

Starting soon we will also be offering a Doggy SUP on our brand new Stand up paddleboards alongside the canoes as soon as they arrive. Date TBC. This will give you a choice of paddling a canoe or SUP. Both events will run from Shaw’s Bridge, Belfast up the River Lagan with your four-legged friend along for the ride!

Dogs just love to be with their owners, so why not try a new adventure. The owner of Mobile Team Adventure; John, will have his dog called Ed as he just loves ‘EDventures’. Ed is a rescue dog from the Dog‘s Trust and loves to explore new things!

P.S. you don’t have to bring a dog to be allowed to join in!

This is a very dog friendly activity! We will provide all the equipment required: boat, buoyancy aid and paddle. All you need to do is turn up in warm comfortable clothing with an old pair of trainers and a light waterproof jacket, bring a change of clothes and footwear in case you get wet. You do not need a wetsuit, the plan is to stay in the boat. If you are SUPing a wetsuit is recommended.  If you wish to hire a wetsuit this will need to be booked and paid for in advance £6pp by contacting the office. Please note, parental/medical consent is required. To save time at the start of the session feel free to download this and bring it along with you to the session.
