Hooray ,Stevie's back on the water.

[@StevieWyatt]

Good to be back!

[@ljsquirrel]

"First thing's first. Coffee" - I'd have had one in the car park at the beginning. ! Great vid.

[@northwestwalking]

Stevie thank you for this beautiful reminder.

[@williamj8349]

I appreciate you clearing off before I arrived for some quality morning dogging.
Great video bud. You need to get these up, you’ve got the quality down now. 👍👍👍

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks 🙏

[@LetsGoPaddling]

Some deep thoughts here. Thank you for the trip. 👍

[@pete2020]

Love that Jaguar

[@arthurglynn-reeves5895]

Finally found the time to watch this. Great vid as per usual, made even more impressive by the original score. 😁

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@Defender23AD]

What a great video. It all felt very natural and educational to.

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks for watching Neil 🙏

[@PhineasPhlob]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one. I finally got round to buying a touring paddle board this summer, inspired, in part, by your videos, and have had a few mini-adventures on the Thames in West Berkshire / Oxfordshire. So... thanks!

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks, that's really nice to hear. Enjoy!

[@TheDavidgweeden]

I love your outlook. .you are a very good man

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@markbennett1131]

Loved it. At times I thought the word ‘romantic’ was one you was looking for, especially by the yew tree. I googled the meaning of romantic to check it could be used 😬. It would have been okay lol. Great video Stevie, thank you.

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks 🙏

[@ConorBradleyUK]

Another great video.

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much Conor 🙏

[@MrDesmostylus]

Great video. There's a good spot to camp round the back of Ham island, just around the corner from your camp.

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks mate 🙏

[@Dug_Out]

Absolutely brilliant 👏👏👏 Although shorter, this was as good as the Thames videos. Maybe even better?

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks! Was definitely re-channeling that Thames spirit 🙂

[@vienasnuonulio]

Nice trip. National history 👍. I did’t new that i paddled close to America acre. I took a short break very closo to this place on my Thames trip 2021. Well done 👍

[@freddomptail1539]

Thanks Stevie for this fantastic video; you are very inspiring.

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@richsummers3131]

Fantastic. I didn’t realise there were so many interesting sites around Runnymead. That thunderstorm looked a bit tasty 😮

[@StevieWyatt]

Thanks! Paddling in a storm kind of sums up this summer!

[@cuccumagic]

I haven't watched the video yet, but I've seen that you have a islander kayak, I just bought a islander voro because is the only light stable kayak I can find in the UK market, unfortunately I find that is a bit to slow. So if you have any recommendations for a light any faster kayak I will be very grateful. Thanks and I can't wait to see your new video later today. Ciao

[@tiaxanderson9725]

That's because it's a balancing act; stable kayaks are always slower than unstable ones because it's width that gives you your stability and thus increases the water resistance.
The same is true for tracking (how straight a kayak goes) and length; longer kayaks track better.
Also, the better a kayak tracks the faster you can go with it as more energy goes into going forward rather than turning (which inherently happens because when you paddle you apply force off the center line). It's why short, flat bottomed, and high rocker kayaks seem to turn much more with every paddle stroke.

[@roblaidlaw2763]

Yes Stevie
Another video to come? The photo of you out on the x500?
Your videos, have lead me to buy an x500 and all the same accessories 😂 🚣‍♀️

[@StevieWyatt]

Yes I still paddle the X500, love it!

[@ottconsulting7]

Steve, great video. I live in Englefield Green where the RAF Memorial is. I’ve kayaked from Datchet which is further down the river to Runnymede and from the Runnymede Hotel to Staines Bridge. I’d like to kayak from the Hotel to Weybridge and was hoping you would show more of the journey from Weybridge to Runnymede as I need to know how easy it is to get ashore along the way if need be. I noticed the one stop you showed had a bit of a high bank which is a bug bear of mine. Are there easy spots along the route where you can step out if need be?
