There are several companies within Derbyshire who offer Peak District canoeing as their extreme sport. Whether you like the fast pace and would like to hurtle down rapids at silly miles an hour, or perhaps just paddle regally on a lake, Peak District canoeing is all about spending whole or part of the day enjoying your canoeing activities. Whether you like to canoe on your own as an individual or be part of a canoeing or kayaking group, you will work closely with your instructor at first, until you’re allowed to go out on your own. Perhaps for starters you plan an activity program suited just for you?

All of the family could partake in peak district canoeing and learn the basics from the pros. Once you have the Peak District canoeing bug, then book a course for all of you. It’s a day to share together and if you like it, then it’s a very portable sport to embrace. The locations are usually beautiful and are ideal and tailor-made for families and groups of friends to get a great introduction to canoeing and kayaking. It would certainly put a bit of adventure into your holiday, your weekend or just your day off, that’s for sure.

How about trying out a taster session and book a half a day-a sort of adventure canoeing on a reservoir may be. There are kayaking rolling courses and canoeing skills which can be undertaken in the warm swimming pool indoors, if you don’t fancy getting your feet wet in the cold. It all depends on the time of year of course. There’s nothing nicer than to paddle down the river on a warm summer’s day.!
