My fiancée, Janine, booked this trip for my birthday, January 04 2026. The weather in Keswick was bitterly cold and large parts of the lake were frozen over so we weren’t even sure the trip would take place. Anyway, under Justin’s leadership we set off not knowing what to expect…
It was an epic experience canoeing over to one of the islands and enjoying a fire while watching the sunset. Very friendly and experienced. Demeanour and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend.
This was such a perfect thing to do with our three children aged 13, 11 and 8. It will be an evening that stays with us long after we return from holiday. Thank you so much to Justin for a magical evening. It was a true pleasure meeting him, and…
