Up River YC (Eastern Aphelion)

September 7, 2025

This is a special venue, and well worth the trip to get there. It is tidal, with strong currents. It has “cans” with names as racing marks. The club facilities are good and launching is easy. The open is held jointly with the Lightning flee

Finding Up River Yacht Club

Like most clubs your best off following the satnav but here’s some easy routes.

From the South:
Come off the M25 at Junction J31 onto the A13 East Bound. When the carriageway
widens to 4 lanes use the two right hand lanes to go onto the A130 Northbound.
Once on the A130 turn right at the first round about and then straight over at the large
junction onto the A1245.
Go straight over the next round about and then turn right at first traffic lights onto
Rawreth Lane and follow the local directions below.

From the North:
Come off the M25 at Junction J28 onto the A12 East Bound.
Exit at J17 onto the A130 south bound.
Leave the A130 at the Next Junction and take the 3rd Exit at the roundabout onto the
A1245 sign posted for Rayleigh and Rawreth.
At the traffic lights turn left into Rawreth Lane and follow the local directions below.

Local Directions:
At the roundabout at the end of Rawreth Lane turn left into Hullbridge Road.
Follow this road into the village of Hullbridge and turn left at the second mini
roundabout into Ferry Road.
Proceed down Ferry Road and after the kink in the road take the right into Pooles Lane
at the warning sign for driving into the river.
Up River Yacht Club is then on the left after the carpark.
