Coracle Building in The Lake District

A unique way of having fun on the lake. Guaranteed fun, guaranteed to get wet!

Our take on the classic 'raft building' session. You will be given the materials to build your own coracle. Pipes, tape and a plastic sheet are all you need to make a coracle which will hold you and your friends weight. Once built you'll float your vessel and complete a short obstacle course.
