What inspires me is God’s gift of freedom (Galations Chapter 5v1) and His command to live fully (John Chapter 10v10). My challenge is to live it and to share it.

Christian Trusts and Camps
If you run Christian Camps or Holidays and would like some help then please contact me . I have been closely involved with the Abernethy Trust and Oak Hall, it has been so refreshing to share fellowship and it is great to be involved with these teams.
I am keen to find ways to support others using the outdoors as a focus for their Christianity.
Many camps have a week for setting up or training the team. Can I help you establish or train your kayaking or canoeing team, and support your Christian Mission?
You may wish to include canoeing or kayaking on the program at your camp but need a source of boats and/or qualified staff. I would love to be involved.

I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure in Portugal. It offered a fantastic learning experience and allowed me to begin building skills which are not only necessary for living outdoors but are helpful in all spheres of life. I hope I take what I learned and apply it to the rest of my life in the future.

Overseas Expeditions
Have you ever considered paddling overseas? We run trips all over Europe and these are some of our favourite canoeing destinations.
Norway and Sweden
We love the vast, open spaces of Norway and Sweden and can almost gaurantee that you’ll see more reindeer than other people.
Last time we were there we saw the northern lights, from our boats! It just takes your breath away.
France
Next time you find yourself soaking up the sun in Provence or in the French Pyreneese, why not hire some boats from us and we’ll guide you down some of Europe’s most well known rivers (the only pre-requirement is that you can tear yourself away from your cafe au lait)! Canoe hire is also a possibility.
Portugal
Enjoy some excellent paddling down the deeply encised gorges of Portugal. A world away from the touristy south, this is unspoilt Portugal; rural, hospitable and agriculture powered by lots of donkeys! Let us introduce you.
Spain
Wide, gentle rivers and canals, conveniently linked and perfect for Duke of Edinburgh Adventurers.
