Itinerary
Saturday –
After meeting at our expedition base in Newcastle, we'll set off on our canoeing adventure. Our team will help you pack your canoe and give you the skills you need to navigate down rapids. Hopefully, we'll spot some local otters as we paddle down the river. We'll stop for a hot lunch on the riverbank, before camping at our remote wild camp. The team will put up tents and the guilds will have the kettle and cakes ready for us. Our team will have the fire ready in the evening for cooking our meal under the stars with a few drinks, chatting about the day on the river.
Sunday –
After a leisurely breakfast, we'll pack up camp and load the canoes for day two down the river Tweed. The scenery changes as we head towards the sea, but it's all very easy going with views of Berwick-upon-Tweed while we pass under the iconic bridges. We may even be lucky enough to have an escort down the river from the local seal colony that hangs out near the bridges. The team will cook you a hot lunch overlooking the city walls. We'll get you back to the min bus around 2pm on Sunday, after a stunning couple of days on the river.
