Paddling:

Three days of paddling in the stunning Lake District. Over the three days we will paddle around four to five hours a day in various weather conditions. Whilst day one will be planned by your coach, the following two days will be led by you. Your coach will guide you in planning a safe paddling trip and on the final day your group will confidently plan and lead the days paddling.

Yoga for paddlers:

Yoga for paddlers, taught by an experienced paddler, for you, a paddler. Over the three days, there’ll be the opportunity to learn how to support your body. Prepare and warm the body for a paddle. How to move and stretch after a paddle. Less about philosophy, more about movement. No fancy yoga clothes needed. Mats can be loaned out if you don’t have one.

Kathy is also rather well known for her SUP Yoga classes. A combo of nature immersion, mindfulness, purposeful movement and a large dollop of play. If the conditions and timings are suitable, then a SUP yoga session on Ullswater can be included in the trip. One warning though… It’s rather addictive and can leave you with a huge beaming smile on your face, and laughter that echoes around the valleys.

Accommodation:

There’s the option to stay in either the bunkhouse or to camp in the grounds. In the bunkhouse you will be sharing a private room with other members of the group on the trip.

There are communal areas where we can chill in the evenings and an outdoor terrace overlooking Lake Windermere in the distance. A drying room is located on the ground floor ideal for drying off paddling kit after a day on the water.

Meals:

All our trips are self-catered. Our chosen bunkhouse has an on-site pub offering great evening meals including freshly made pizzas and breakfasts. Theres also a communal kitchen with the usual appliances if you’d prefer to cook. We hope you will join us in eating out one evening in Bowness.

Lunch and snacks will be needed each day. They can be prepared in the communal kitchen by yourself or can be bought en route to the lake.

Paddling Equipment:

You don’t need your own equipment to join us on this trip as paddle boards, paddles and safety equipment are available to borrow and are included in the price of the trip,

If bringing your own paddleboard, it should ideally be suitable for paddling longer distances and in chop. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you are unsure of the suitability of your board. You must have a coiled leash and buoyancy aid/ PFD.

A full kit list will be emailed to you after booking on the trip.

How to get to the Lake District:

Drive - this is the ideal way as we will need to share lifts to drive to the different venues for the weekend and our vehicles have limited space once all the kit is packed in! We do encourage sharing of lifts within the group and we will do this via the WhatsApp group.
Train - You can get the train to Oxenholme train station and we can arrange to collect you (limited availability)
