Want to really get away from it all? We run expeditions all over the UK. We have dates when these are running or we can run them specifically for your group depending on your requirements, we are flexible.

This course is either a 5 day expedition or a 1 day training followed at a later date by a 4 day expedition.

The aim is to operate as a self-sufficient team, carrying everything we need with us as we go. We meet on the first morning, pack the canoes with food and equipment for the whole of the trip, and set off.

We deal with the issues that arise on an expedition of this sort, looking at:

-         Bushcraft

o       how to get fresh water

o       how to start a fire

§         Campcraft

§         Shelter

§         Camp etiquette

-         what kit to take

-         how to pack that kit

-         navigation

o       route planning

-         how to portage

-         weather and what to do about it

-         wildlife

-         paddling skills

-         boat handling skills

-         clothing

We will concentrate the skills that you are the most interested in. Our experienced guides will manage all of these aspects as well as teaching you how they have done this.

The guides are qualified open canoe coaches and depending on your requirements are bushcraft instructors.

The exact itinerary will vary from trip to trip the reason for this is the groups ability and requirement and also the weather always has an affect on these trips the wind can make a big difference to an open canoe!
