Session Details

With the experiences of the past year, we feel it’s more important than ever to look after our mental well-being and getting outdoors to paddle (in our opinion) is just about the best way to do this. It’s also ideal as a safe socially distanced activity.
This course will incorporate learning to Stand Up Paddleboard in a relaxed environment by a friendly experienced SUP Instructor while being centered around your well-being to help you unwind.
 
Taking to the water is well known for its restorative benefits and we shall be coupling this with stretching and breathing techniques, lead by a friendly experienced personal trainer to help you get the most from your time on the water. Sessions will be rounded off with sit spots, essential oils and relaxing herbal teas to help bring ourselves back into balance.
 
If you’re finding the current times particularly challenging or feel some downtime would ease the burden this could be for you.
 
Research studies show the huge benefits paddle boarding can bring:
  • Reduction in anxiety & depression
  • Lowered stress levels
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Lowered blood pressure
  • Increased sense of connection
  • Enhanced feelings of calm & well-being
  • Strengthened immune system

Hire FAQ's

What's the difference between a kayak and a canoe?

If you're not sure of what each craft is, then read our guide here.

Are the trips guided?
There are no guides or instructors needed for hire. This is simply a hire where you paddle out and back to our launch point. We recommend our preferred route, however, you are free-range and able to explore the river.
What if it rains?
Unless you hear from us then your booking will run on the day agreed. Canoe Trail runs watersports, paddling, and adventurous activities throughout the year with people enjoying the river and our woodland campsite during the different seasons. On rare occasions (it only happens a couple of times a year) we may move or change your booking. This will be in freak weather conditions such as extremely high river flows in spate or during heavy storms with lightning. You can read our full FAQ here.
How does the booking process work?
We use a live booking system that will assign you the relevant craft and resources. Once you have confirmed your booking date, it is not then transferable and non-refundable in the same way you book an airline seat. Bookings are to be paid in full at the time of booking and are non-refundable. There will be no refunds for early returns, poor weather, or non-usage as per our general terms & conditions.

Just returned from a week in Scotland with Canoe Trail. It was one of the best organised trips I have done. The team were awesome, great instruction with loads of patience for those new to paddling.
