Brighton Explorers Club
The Brighton Explorers Club (BEC) is a multi-activity club and charity for over-18s. The club aims to get people active in the great outdoors. While our charitable focus is on young adults, we have (and encourage) active members of all ages. We do a wide variety of activities including rock climbing, road cycling, mountain biking, walking, caving, kayaking, SUP, windsurfing, badminton, tennis, coasteering and surfing. Our charitable objectives are : 1. to facilitate the personal development and growth of young people by education and instruction through participation in a wide variety of activities with special reference to the outdoors and physical endeavour; and 2. the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities for participation in sports such as cycling, paddlesport, walking, caving, climbing, coasteering, windsurfing and badminton, but without limitation.

📢 Earthwatch's Great UK WaterBlitz is back on this September!

âš  Our rivers and freshwater habitats are at crisis point and we need urgent action. We are invited to join the Great UK WaterBlitz this September!

💧🧪 Over the weekend of 19-22 September, Earthwatch is calling on you to go out and measure the water quality of our local river, lake, pond or stream. The data you collect will help build a picture of freshwater health across the UK, and can be used to fight for real change.

For this adventurous GoodGym community mission, we are joining forces with Brighton Explorers Club (BEC) , Surfers Against the Sewage, and other local paddlesports clubs in their mission to Clear Access and Clear Waters, a PaddleUK campaign to preserve the quality of open green and blue environments.

âš  Do you have already your EarthWatch Water Bliz Kit?

If not, please register to the event and book your kit HERE. Without it, we cant collect any samples!

âš  Have you paddled before?

If not, just let me know. I would recommend you have an Induction to Paddlesports by participating to the BEC Go Paddling session on Wednesday 17th September HERE. This will provide you with all the basics to paddle safe.

More details on the day will be shared in due course. Most likely we will go paddling locally on either the river Ouse (from Southease to Lewes) or Cuckmere (from the meanders to Friston).

Happy GoodGyming and paddleboarding with a bliz!
