By far the best way is email.
All trips are booked online. If you’ve just tried to call me on a morning, for a trip the same afternoon, apologies, I’m probably out on the water, and there is no further availability today.
Please check for tomorrow. The booking system is, automatically, always up to date. -
Guest experiences on previous trips have demonstrated that if any of the following applies, these trips are not suitable.
1. A BMI of 26 or over.
2. Weigh 102 KG (16 Stone) or over.
3. Regards young kids, the boats are a lot larger than children’s outdoor centre boats. Many parents have struggled on a windy day when sharing with a young child. This is unfair on everyone ( other guests, the child, the parent ).
Maybe check out hiring a rafted canoe or a ‘ Sit-on-Top ‘ from Glenridding Sailing Centre. -
Yes. However, please see below for exceptions.
( A reminder that this activity is usually quite a dry one. The boats are not sit-on-tops, where you will get wet straight away. At the end of these tours, most people are dry enough to simply get in their car and go. )
From March – mid July, and Sept – Dec, the facilities are not available on Tuesdays & Wednesdays.
From December to March they are not available on any day.
On these occasions please feel free to use the toilets in the village, a 1 minute walk away from the entrance gate. They are at the Tourist Info Centre, are 50p & contactless.
Free ones are a few minutes further walk. -
