Description
Take on a canoe trip challenge of a lifetime as you make your own adventures along the River Severn
At 125 miles from Welshpool to Gloucester, you will average at about 20 miles a day, as you take on the River Severn along the beautiful views & wild remote stretches where you will feel like a canoe trail blazer as you pass by
The trip was originally designed around 7 days this allows for enough of a challenge with out having to beast yourself
Although you will still have to cover the miles and you will certainly feel a sense of achievement for completing the challenge,
logistics campsite wise works the easiest and is most flexible on the 7 day trip ie you can have a short day or push-on with a good day at lest in some parts of the trip.
Start & finish points: Its your Canoe trip or challenge so we are flexible depending on ability and environmental conditions. We can easily modify the trip to suit and arrange a pick up any where along the River Severn should you need.
Free Parking: For your vehicle can be arranged for the week or a pick up from a local train station.
Drop off: We will drop you off with your boat and equipment at your start point, making sure your fully briefed and provided with maps of the River Severn as a canoe trail for you and safety cards for your Journey, as well as dry barrels and dry Bags for your kit.
Support: We say its an Adventure but, we will stay in contact with you during the week via text, updating you on any river level or weather issues that may arise and making sure your on track for your finish point or re calculate for you if need be.
Safety: We also track your boat for extra Saftey so we know how your progressing or easy to track you down in an emergency
Accommodation: This is a self supported trip. You can choose to aim for official campsites along the route, or if you’re a small group you can sometimes get away with wild camping along the river bank on a beach.
It is possible to glam camp and/or BB it along the way, however this can fix you to a schedule more making it more of a challenge in places
Pick Up: Once you have finished your adventure and have reached your finish point we arrange pick up of yourselves, boat & equipment, to be returned to Shrewsbury ( if that is what you require).
