One of the biggest rivers in the UK, the Trent is full of history architecture and beautiful landscapes. One you have experienced a whole new perspective of the midlands we guarantee you’ll leave with a whole new love and appreciation of this less toured area of England.

No prior experience is required for this expedition, so don’t worry if you’ve never canoed before!

Our first day will be spent around the centre working on your core paddling skills, ensuring you can safely and efficiently paddle your boat. The first night focuses on socialising so your welcome to order takeaway to the campsite or head offsite. Day 2 will look to develop leadership and group management skills whilst building your paddling fitness and putting those core skills into real world situations with a journey out and back from our campsite. Day 3 and 4 are our practice expedition where we will journey downstream under the mentorship of your instructor to ensure you develop independence and confidence in your ability to journey as a team without external input. This trip is the ideal foundation for our qualifying canoe trips later in the summer.
