INTRODUCTION TO CANOEING AND BUSHCRAFT 30th-1st September

This course is aimed at small groups or couples who want to incorporate their bushcraft experiences into a journey and is a three day course. 

No experience of canoes or bushcraft is necessary as the course will be tailored to your requirements. Ideally you will have some camping/outdoor experience and have an idea of what the environment can throw at you (from weather to bugs) but our aim is to educate and increase your confidence being out in the wilds.

Cost £350 (6 spaces left).

On this course, based in the Western Highlands of Scotland, we will guide you through canoe and bushcraft skills that will enable you to have a better understanding of using the canoe as a journeying tool to remote locations and create a wild camp sympathetic to the environment. This course can be more intense and physically demanding than our 3 day course but we do all we can to make our journey efficient.

Cost £450 (6 spaces left).

Stand up Paddleboarding

Stand up Paddleboarding originated from surfers in Hawaii. Stand up paddle boarders stand on their boards and use a paddle to propel themselves through the water.  Variations include flat water paddling for outdoor recreation, racing on lakes, large rivers and canals, surfing on ocean waves, and paddling in river rapids (whitewater SUP).  We offer half day Taster sessions and full day Courses and trips on the reservoirs and canals of the Beautiful Peak District and surrounding area.
