Urbex Tour in the Black Country by stand-up paddle
Agenda
Useful information
EXPERIENCE PROGRAMME
👋 Gentle welcome & preparation
We take the time to welcome you properly. We give you your equipment, we explain how it works and we answer any questions you may have. No stress, here we are here to enjoy!
💨 Inflation & launching
A quick practical moment: we inflate the paddles, adjust the equipment and calmly prepare to paddle.
🌿 Exploration & disconnection
This is where the magic happens. We glide on the water, we enjoy the calm, we let ourselves be carried by the current… A real moment out of time, without distraction, just you and nature.
🔁 Back to the starting point
After this great adventure, we find the cars dropped off earlier and we go back with our heads full of memories (and maybe a few splashes on our faces).
🚆 Easy access
The meeting point is a 10-minute walk from Marchienne-au-Pont train station, and a 1-minute walk from the Marchienne-au-Pont providence metro stop (M).

EQUIPMENT
🎒 Equipment provided & small water survival guide 🌊
🛶 Materials included (because we are not sadists):
✔A stand-up paddle (promise, it floats).
✔ A paddle (because paddling with your hands takes a long time).
✔ A waterproof bag (to keep your phone dry… unless you want to test its water resistance).
✔A life jacket (because we care about you).
🧳 What you should plan for (depending on the weather and your level of daring):
🌿 “Temperate” period (April to June)
🔹 An outfit that isn’t afraid of water (pants or shorts, depending on your level of optimism).
🔹 Sneakers that can end up soaking wet (spoiler: they will end up soaking wet).
🔹 A nice big sweater for afterwards (because you can never be safe from a little chill).
🔹 A change of clothes, so as not to leave feeling like a sponge.
☀ Hot period (June to September)
🔹 A swimsuit or outfit that can take on water (and dry quickly).
🔹 A cap to avoid the crayfish effect.
🔹 A dry change, because you never know.
In short, come dressed in aquatic adventure mode and everything will be fine! 🚣♂️✨
