点评:We were in Leamington Spa for a short visit and decided to hire kayaks from here. It’s just next to Jephson Gardens in the centre of town. We did not book in advance and were able to get kayaks immediately. There’s a straightforward registration which required a photo id. The cost for one hour for the two of us was £32. In hindsight we could have gone out for longer but one hour would be fine for complete beginners I think.
The river was easy to paddle both up and down the river and you didn’t feel you were paddling against a current either way. It was half term when we went so there were lots of youngsters swimming in the river. I imagine it would be a lot quieter outside of the school holidays. A pretty little river with lots of dragonflies along the way. There’s a small changing area and they will look after any bags you may have.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Post kayak I realised I must have left my id at the checking desk alas I had already left LS. However the owners have very kindly agreed to post it onto me which I can’t thank them enough for you.
If you have time and like being on the water I would definitely recommend doing this.
翻译:我们在利明顿温泉镇短暂逗留,决定在这里租皮划艇。它就在镇中心的杰夫逊花园旁边。我们没有提前预订,所以立刻就租到了皮划艇。登记流程很简单,只需要出示带照片的身份证件。我们两个人租了一个小时,费用是32英镑。事后想想,我们当时应该可以划更久一些,但我觉得对于完全的初学者来说,一个小时就足够了。
这条河很容易划,无论是上行还是下行,都不会感觉逆流而上。我们去的时候正值学校假期,所以河里有很多孩子在游泳。我想如果不是假期的话,这里应该会安静得多。这是一条很漂亮的小河,沿途有很多蜻蜓。这里有一个小小的更衣室,他们会帮你保管行李。
工作人员都很友好热情。
划完皮划艇后,我才意识到我肯定把身份证落在登记处了,唉,可惜我已经离开了利明顿温泉镇。不过,船主们非常慷慨地同意帮我寄过来,我真的非常感谢他们。
如果你有时间,又喜欢水上活动,我强烈推荐你体验一下。
