🚣‍♂️ The Return Journey – Paddling from Oak Weir Lock to Yalding

After an earlier upstream paddle from Yalding, this video captures the peaceful return journey along the River Medway. I took a well-earned break at Oak Weir Lock—perfect for a rest, a coffee, and the chance to get the drone up for some aerial footage using my DJI Mini 4 Pro.

 

Enjoy the calm waters, scenic countryside, and a different perspective of this beautiful stretch of river on the way back downstream.
