Reviews

Paul led us on a canoeing exped up the canal at Bude. My 11yr granddaughter was initially scared of every manoeuvre but the excellent instruction by Paul soon had her expertly turning the canoe round, plus forwards and backwards-she got so confident she felt she could stand up in the boat without fear of falling in- believe me, a great leap forward. Paul was so patient and informative in the history and the wildlife along the canal. We felt wed been on a trip with a young David Attenborough. I highly recommend this tour and Paul. Great day, equipment and teaching. Worth every penny.
