Hello and welcome to the forum.

Your nearest launch sites would be on the Trent: West Stockwith (Gainsborough), Farndon (Newark) or Hazleford. See Boatlaunch.co.uk for details.

Tidal section's a bit boring tbh, at least there's no speed limit downstream of Gainsborough bridge. I'm going to try it out to the Humber and see what scenery the Ouse has to offer. Upstream to Torksey Lock you can go all the way to Lincoln.

Here's some ideas:
caravan sites with beach access
campsite with slipway

Personally we enjoy Salcombe. Central to Dartmouth and Plymouth there's always plenty of options. Also any campsite near the Solent will be rewarding, we loved Hurst View at Lymington.

Hi and welcome to the forum. So do you carry the Honwave inside the camper so need to park a sensible reach from a slipway to set up then launch?

Have you booked any Suffolk area camping or are you flexible as to exact area?
