This canoe trip explores one of Britain’s best canoeing rivers for practicing moving water and traditional skills such as poling, lining and tracking. The river banks change from winding fields to rocky outcrops and features and ancient Ghilie huts.
Starting at the historic border town of Kelso we paddle down to Coldstream and then onto Norham and the historic walled town of Berwick. The historic route includes stunning bridges, ruined castles and viaducts to explore. This river journey incorporates a mixture of small rapids and drops as well as peaceful paddling through stunning scenery. You will have plenty of opportunities to improve your paddling skills with our qualified and experienced coaches eager to share their knowledge. This is the perfect place to work on 'breaking in', 'breaking out' and ferry gliding as well as board handling such as trim, edge and forward paddling.
Two nights will be spent wild camping on the riverbank, enjoy our free-range evening meals, and sharing stories around the campfire.
Price: £360 for 3 days of guided paddling in canoes or kayaks with delicious camp food (breakfast and evening meal). Secure your place from £99 non refundable deposit and the option of staged payments
