Fancy seeing another side of the Lake District? From the seat of your boat, you can see parts of Cumbria unreachable by any other means. Even if you have never been in a canoe or kayak before, after a short period of training on a lake, you will be ready to take on your first 'white water' river! If you've only paddled on flat water, you'll be amazed at how the boat 'comes alive' in its natural habitat!
As the river carries us along, we may see Herons and Kingfishers and will tackle several stretches of white water rapids, all whilst being surrounded by some of the best scenery in England!
For the more experienced, there are a number of excellent places to play and practice your river roll! If you have a certain Lakeland river in mind, please get in touch and we can provide transport / equipment, local details, or an instructor for you.
Our journeys are suitable for beginners and people with only a limited amount of paddling experience - with expert tuition and coaching you'll learn fast and have a great time - guaranteed!
Location
Mobile Adventure's River Trips are run throughout the year, and the river used will depend on the group’s ability and local water levels. Some of our favourite trips are:- Middle Derwent, River Leven and the River Brathey
Level of Difficulty / Fitness Requirements
As we use modern specialised river running boats, they handle very well and will forgive the odd mistake! It is a surprisingly gentle sport as the rivers current does most of the work, so you can sit back and enjoy the ride. Before running any rapids, a comprehensive briefing will be given by your instructor, who will never be far away. The only requirement is to be confident in water; an ability to swim is not essential, as you will be wearing a buoyancy aid.
Fancy more?
We also offer a multi day river trip, which combines a canoe trip with either camping or using B&Bs depending on the groups requirements. As we will have 2 or 3 days on the water, we will cover some of the national awards for canoeing or kayaking, and you will come out a proficient river paddler.
