Holidays and Information

Based in Cumbria, offers courses and trips that combine open canoeing with wilderness camping and bushcraft skills.
This site concentrates on non competitive outdoor sports, where the only person you are competing against is yourself. Pushing yourself that little bit further, practising until you get it right, gives you a great sense of achievement. There is also that wonderful feeling of well-being as you become part of the beautiful rugged outdoor world.
