Worcestershire Trip Overview
We really are very lucky here; the River Avon is a slow, winding, dreamy escape of a river that meanders away from roads, towns and the noise of civilisation into a quiet wilderness full of creatures large and small. I quite regularly see deers swimming in the river during the Summer and Red Kites are starting to shadow us as we paddle along too! This is way more than just your average ‘learn to SUP’ session, this is a complete experience giving you the skills to escape into nature safely on a paddleboard so you can explore these natural spaces from the unique perspective of walking on water!
“James made this the most chilled out and gorgeous experience. Tranquillity, clear and calm instruction, we did a great paddle from Eckington bridge and it included everything you could want from this trip; peace, giggles, wildlife, learning a new skill, stunning views and more.” Hannah (Facebook review)
