Travelling - it leaves you speechless then turns you into a storyteller!
2 Day Bushcraft /Canoe Expedition - River Wye (other locations available)
A two-day canoe journey down the River has two elements, Journeying and Bushcraft - It's a wilderness expedition delight!
The Wye offers that true remote wilderness essential for this two day, 20-mile canoe - bushcraft expedition. Journeying on this spectacular river means taking in historic sights and spectacular scenery with an added bonus of great little known campsites. See the wonders of the River Wye, nesting Sand Martins, Oyster Catchers, Heron and King Fishers, and if you're really lucky an Otter or two.
With our added survival training FIRE! FOOD! SHELTER! WATER! - You'll live the true back-to-nature experience.
If you prefer to journey elsewhere in the UK we can recommend other rivers or estuaries at a more suitable location.
