Inland touring is a purely entertaining feature of canoeing and involves a journey or expedition in your boat.
Touring by canoe gives you the chance to slow down and take pleasure in the countryside. The real beauty of touring by canoe is that you can choose your own pace and relish each minute.
Touring is as enjoyable when you’re on a solo adventure as it is with family and friends. You can grab a picnic and head out with no particular objective in mind or you can pack your camping gear and travel for numerous days or even weeks, surviving on what you’re carrying in your boat. You only need basic paddling skills but the opportunity for satisfaction and adventure are endless.
We run regular trips along the river Blackwater at the following locations:
These locations are suitable for all abilities and ages, no experience is required.
River running is the spine of recreational white water paddling – it involves following a river downstream in your canoe / kayak, negotiating any rapids you come across. You’ll find rollercoaster wave trains, ‘haystack’ and ‘stopper’ waves and a vision of the countryside that you’ll never see except by canoe / kayak.
Kayak Safari trips on the upper Blackwater are something not to be missed you can book your own private trip to discover the beauty and nature this river has to offer. You will need a bit more skills to do the following trips which our Instructors and Guides will teach you along the way. We will also be stopping along the way to learn about the safety and the thrills of wild swimming.
Locations:
An open canoe can take you on a passage of discovery down lowland rivers, on tranquil family lake trips or down the rapids of the best white water runs. Wherever you go, you’ll be able to take to the water with the least effort and greatest enjoyment.
The canoes tend to be wide and secure, which makes them popular with outdoor centres and beginners as well as with less mobile paddlers and those who don’t want to struggle into the tight restrictions of a kayak.
