A day or weekend of foraging and learning Bushcraft skills on the river. There will be opportunities at each of our stops to learn some key Bushcraft skills, including how to light a fire without matches, and have a go at some natural crafts and cordage.

On the w/e trip we'll camp overnight at a secret spot by the water's edge – tuck in to some campfire cuisine, experience the magic of a night walk to call owls and spot bats, concluded by stories and a nightcap around the campfire. In the morning we'll enjoy the symphony of nature with a dawn walk and breakfast around the fire. After this we’ll slowly make our way back to civilization feeling revived after our immersion in the natural world.

 

 

Explore this scenic stretch of the River Dart by canoe, topped off with a gourmet riverside picnic opposite Sharpham Estate, using food and drink sourced from small independent local suppliers. The canoeing is gentle and easy going, but enough to work up a good appetite for the sumptuous riverside picnic that awaits you. After the picnic, we paddle back to Totnes or Stoke Gabriel (depending on tides), finishing off about 3pm.

Suitable for novice canoeists and food lovers! (Adults and older children only.)

This trip has a real expedition feel to it, and you will come away feeling like you have had an adventure. We begin at Hay-on-Wye, just north of the Black Mountains, where we'll meet and load the canoes with everything we need for our journey on the river. We travel several miles each day through changing scenery; flat stretches interspersed with  small rapids (nothing too scarey!). Camping on river beaches and banks along the way, the pace is relaxed, and there is plenty of time to  swim, play, and rest...
