What you should bring with you:
It's a good idea to bring a snack and a bottle of water since there is no drinking water on-site. In addition you will need suitable clothing for canoeing (this is weather dependent, but could include a fleece, warm t-shirt/thermal, tracksuit trousers, cagoule/windproof, hat and towel) and a change of dry clothes for afterwards. We encourage you to wear footwear in the canoes, plimsolls, crocs or wet-shoes are ideal. There are changing rooms & a toilet available during this time.
