Joint Adventures Adventure activities in The Lake District

Beginner to improver

This is a 2 day course for those who have little or know experience of boating, and wish to develop skills specific to canoe or kayak.  Our aim is to help you develop skills to enable you to undertake short journeys on flat water, and be in good control of your boat.  We will also teach you how to be safer on the water so that you may begin to plan your own adventures.

Moving on to white water

This 2 day course is for those who have good boat control on flat water, and wish to develop skills to paddle moving water up to grade 2.  The first part of the course will review flat water skills.  The rest of the course will involve skill development to include breaking in and out of moving water, surfing small waves, and river reading skills.

White water skills

This 2 day course is designed to get people paddling up to and including grade 3 rivers, with good control and boat handling skills.  It is suitable for people who have some moving water experience but want to be able to reliably catch more eddies as they descend the rapids.

Advanced white water skills

This 2 day course is designed to move people on to the next level of paddling.  It will focus on you learning how to paddle grade 3 water with finesse and develop skills needed to paddle grade 4 water. 

Whether you want beautiful views, peace and tranquillity, or help with your navigation, we can help you get the most from your time on the hill.  Hill walking can be tailored to meet your needs and level of experience.  It is available as a full day, half day, or expedition activity.  See our Photo Trails for your own adventure.

All activities
All Summer activities are more comfortable with a full arm and leg covering of warm cloths.  Fleece type material, or a wool mixture is a good choice.  Try to save your cotton T shirts and sweat shirts for travelling home in.

Jeans are NOT recommended for any activity, apart from travelling home in.

Preferably two long sleeved layers, and one long legged layer, with your lightweight waterproof jacket over the top. If you have waterproof trousers bring them.  Bring gloves, warm hat and additional warm clothing if weather not the best

Family Adventure Day

Rock Climbing is the ultimate vertical challenge.  The Lake District is thought of as the birth place of English rock climbing.  With our help you can join in the adventure and excitement of reaching the top. From taster sessions to skills development, we will provide all you need to enjoy this activity.

Want to increase you personal skills and experience beyond those taster sessions?  Our skills courses can help.  Whether you're looking to take National Governing Body Awards, or just trying to increase your own personal competence, we will be happy to advise you.  Why not make use of our expert advice and coaching experience?  Check our calendar, or simply contact us and tell us what you need.  

Why not celebrate that special event with something different.  Birthday parties, stag and hen parties can be really great if you add in that extra special adventure!  Choose any activities from our list, and we will make sure that you have a day to remember.
