Launch on an exciting adventure with our Northern England canoe week led by our expert guide, Adam. Over five exhilarating days, explore the best rivers in Northern England while receiving top-notch coaching to enhance your skills and boost your confidence.
During your adventure, expect to navigate through the diverse and exciting rivers of the Lake District and Northern Dales. With a plethora of mature rivers boasting high-quality rapids perfectly suited for open canoeing, each day promises a unique experience tailored to the desires and skill levels of the group. Depending on water levels, we'll traverse a combination of renowned rivers including the Lune, Eden, Leven, Kent, Tees, Swale, Esk, Ribble, and Greta, ensuring a dynamic and varied journey through picturesque landscapes.
Throughout the week, there's no fixed syllabus, allowing for a flexible and personalised learning experience. Whether you're consolidating core skills, refining equipment and outfitting choices, or honing whitewater techniques for Grade II/III rivers, our expert guidance will support your growth and confidence on the water.
Embrace the opportunity to make tactical choices, enhance safe group paddling strategies, and delve into traditional canoe skills such as poling, tracking, and lining. With each paddle stroke, expect to deepen your understanding and mastery of canoeing while immersing yourself in the stunning beauty of Northern England.
Explore the stunning landscapes of the Lake District and Northern Dales, home to a diverse range of mature rivers boasting numerous high-quality rapids, ideal for open canoeing.
This is aimed at paddlers with grade two experience looking to paddle new rivers and maybe try their hand at a little grade three.
With Adam as your guide, you'll receive personalised coaching and guidance aimed at developing your skills and confidence on the water.
Our flexible approach ensures each day is tailored to the group's desires and abilities, guaranteeing a memorable and rewarding experience.
