UK Canoeing Days

Whether it is a journey based on your local canal, or further afield on the wonderful rivers and lakes in Cumbria we can offer fun, exciting and safe sessions in either kayaks or canoes. 

These activities can be run as a full day or alternatively combined with our other activities such as climbing, gorge walking, abseiling or raft building.

Canoeing and kayaking are ideal for school groups, families, adult groups, management groups, scouts and just about every group you can think of!

Example of a combined activity day:

• AM: Arrive at Brown How Car Park, Coniston.
• Paddle to Peel Island which is widely regarded as the inspiration for the Swallows and Amazons book series (referred to as Wild Cat Island) by Arthur Ransome.
• Tie up the boats and spend time exploring the island, jumping off the rocks and swimming.
• Mid-day: Have a relaxing lunch on the shores of Coniston Water.
• PM: Set off for an exhilarating walk up one of the many local ghylls, or try your hand at climbing in a local quarry.
• Finish with meal and a drink at a local pub.
