CANOE & TREK WEEKEND A relaxing Adventure Weekend!
If you don't fancy dangling over rock faces on the end of a rope or kayaking and raft building on a local lake, then this weekend could be for you. This advenutre weekend enables you to explore one of Devon's beautiful rivers by canoe and then walk over some of the remoter parts of Dartmoor.
On Saturday you will learn some map and compass techniques out on the stunning expanse of moorland that is Dartmoor. You will be led by a fully qualified instructor who will guide you through the basics of navigation.
On the Sunday you will embark on a canoe exploration on the beautiful river Tamar. Although inland the water is still tidal, so your journey stars at the quaint riverside village of Calstock. Here we will catch the tide up river, passing the working historical dock and mines at Morwelham Quay, taking our picnic on the bank. After lunch you make your leisurely return to Calstock on the ebbing tide.
You do not need to be super fit for this weekend nor do you need any previous canoeing experience. These weekends are designed as an enjoyable introduction to Dartmoor and canoeing.
