We only have one planet and we need to take care of it. At Kingston Kayak Club we enjoy our natural environment and want to ensure it is pristine.
On 25th April, along with East Yorkshire Canoe Club and the Wombles of Beverley we had 30 People on land, canoes, kayaks, SUPs; putting in the effort to clean up a 2 miles stretch of the River Hull around Weel.
This attracted media attention from BBC Radio, TV and Hull Daily Mail.
