What do you need to know about Canoeing?

Great for all groups and anyone who's never been canoeing before. Canoeing is great fun so suits everyone from your little people to adults. The bonus of this outdoor activity is that you don't even have to get wet if you don't want to........but we can't guarantee it!

Open canoes are two person boats paddled with a single blade paddle. Sessions are first and foremost a fun day out and an idyllic way to explore the lakes.

We'll stop off and explore the islands or beaches and have a hot drink boiled over an open fire.

Who's Canoeing for?

Families and Friends
Stag and Hen parties
School Groups

Every year my friends hook up to compete in our very own challenge event. This year we chose the Lake District as the location. We arranged to do the Via Ferrata Xtreme and Ghyll scrambling. Everything was absolutely brilliant! The events were awesome, timings perfect and the gear provided was spot on. Never thought being cold and wet could actually be so much fun! Keep up the good work. PS - cheers for the photographs!

What to expect if you join a DofE Open Gold Expedition

Category: Duke of Edinburgh's Award Expeditions & Residentials

It can feel a little daunting to commit to spending almost 5 days, 24 hours each day, with a group of people you have most probably never met before. However, it’s not all that bad. In fact, it’s a very positive experience.

Would you get off the sofa and try to run a marathon without any training? No?! With a good base level of fitness, endurance and cardiovascular training, the challenge will still be hard, but the enjoyment levels will be higher and you’ll minimise the risk of injury.
