Yup, I've done it from Lewes to Glynde and back, that was before the new bypass flyover though.
Up river to Barcombe is a much nicer paddle though

Only possible when the tide is in (and going out). It drains virtually all the way out below the weir at the bypass back to the ouse. I don't know how long after high tide it is still possible for (anyone know?)

It is a strange quirk of English civil law that beyond the tidal reach of waterways (Wileys Bridge in Malling in the case of the Ouse) that, unless you have the permission of the owners of the properties along the banks of the river to use the stretch of water, you will be trespassing!

Without going to a map - which rivers are being referred to?

@John of Rodmell. How does that law work on The Thames then ? Given that there are so many properties on the river bank and so many people boating, I would say that law is regularly and routinely broken by custom and practice.

BB - I forget what the law's called, but certain major rivers have a specific exclusion. J o R is right, otherwise (although I thought it was the weir at Barcombe, rather than Willeys Bridge).

The ouse is tidal all the way up to Barcombe Mills. Beyond I think you are allowed by the ouse navigation act which i don't believe has ever been repealed

Thanks guys - appreciate the replies. Will try from the sluice by the by-pass up to Glynde. Wonder who owns the banks of the river? Surely the water belongs to everyone! Waiting for the weather to warm up a little more!
Did Newhaven nearly to Barcombe and return last year - a great paddle! Wonderful birdlife. All the best. David
