    The trip from Castle Eaton was beautiful, but during lower water will require focused paddling and little rest to make it back in 3-4 hours. The website said 11:30-3:30, but at 2:30 we were only halfway back to Lechlade. The rest of the trip we paddled aggressively to get back before closing. No support or information is given during launch in Castle Eaton, so make sure that you are familiar with launching from stairs and understand the mechanics of paddling through tight spots and vegetation!
