Christmas is a tricky time to balance the gift of giving with not succumbing to consumer advertising buying unwanted gifts.

It’s the time of year where we move on some of our canoes, kayaks and stand up paddle boards to new ‘forever homes’.  Our fleet are well cared for and in great condition and typically around 12 months old.

 At Canoe Trail we believe in spending time in the great outdoors exploring by canoe, kayak or SUP sharing adventure far and wide. As part of this, we are running a competition, which we are running all the way through to 24^th December 2019 at midday.  

We have teamed up with our friends at www.e-outdoor.co.uk (White and Bishop) one of the oldest retailers of outdoor clothing and equipment to offer some fantastic offers and prizes around their Black Friday promotion.

Canoe Trail have teamed up with Bedford Borough Council in partnership to provide white water training in Bedford for Canoe and Kayak which we are fondly calling ‘Ride the Rapids’. We have a new license to use the Etienne Stott White Water Arena (named after our London 2012 Gold Medallist in Canoe Slalom) for learning about moving water and paddling more challenging conditions.

Canoe Trail are serious about the environment, we have been cleaning up plastics, writing about sustainability and even twinning our woodland composting toilets with the Philippines.
