Welcome to Viking Kayak Club
Bedford

Created with Sketch.

Viking Kayak Club has been serving Bedford since 1961 and aims to provide the same friendly, family-based club that has helped us to grow from a few friends out for a casual paddle to our now large membership. We are an active, friendly club for canoeists and kayakers of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. We do all types of paddling, both recreational and competitive from gentle river trips, playboating & white water, sea & surf, competing in Slalom, Marathon or Polo, or just having fun on the water.

Weekly Activities

Not every week at Viking is the same but here are the general weekly activities.
