Activity
Details
You will get the opportunity to paddle both an open Canadian canoe and a Kayak down the river enjoying the thrill of powering yourself through the water.
The action takes place on the River Leam - an ideal location for both complete beginners and those with some experience. Your instructor will discuss any previous experience with you and the group to tailor the session to give everyone an enjoyable time on the water. During the session you can expect to learn some of the basics of kayaking and canoeing and enjoy a river trip.
Following registration at the boat centre you will meet your instructor. They will then fit you with your equipment, including buoyancy aid; cag (waterproof canoeing top), boat and paddle (spray decks are available for experienced paddlers). The kayaks and canoes are very stable and designed for tuition so you are unlikely to fall out unless you try very hard! A full safety briefing and explanation in the use of the equipment is provided before going onto the water. You will be taught how to control the boat so you can enjoy a river trip up through the Victorian Gardens & into the nature reserve. You may well play some games to test your new skills!
Group Size: There will be a maximum of eight people in your group, though there may be other groups on the day. This activity lasts approximately seven hours.
