0Has anyonr canoed down from Glynde to join the main river flowing through Lewes? Is this possible? - 0On Fri 27 Jan at: 17:17 Dave wrote: 1Yup, I've done it from Lewes to Glynde and back, that was before the new bypass flyover though.
Up river to Barcombe is a much nicer paddle though - 0On Fri 27 Jan at: 18:47 canoeman wrote: 0Only possible when the tide is in (and going out). It drains virtually all the way out below the weir at the bypass back to the ouse. I don't know how long after high tide it is still possible for (anyone know?)

- 0On Mon 30 Jan at: 19:07 someone else wrote: 0BB - I forget what the law's called, but certain major rivers have a specific exclusion. J o R is right, otherwise (although I thought it was the weir at Barcombe, rather than Willeys Bridge).

- Thanks guys - appreciate the replies. Will try from the sluice by the by-pass up to Glynde. Wonder who owns the banks of the river? Surely the water belongs to everyone! Waiting for the weather to warm up a little more!0On Tue 31 Jan at: 17:25 David Pavitt wrote: 0
Did Newhaven nearly to Barcombe and return last year - a great paddle! Wonderful birdlife. All the best. David
