3 Lakes Challenge

Water Based Challenge!

The 3 Lakes Challenge is one of the best challenges the Lake District has, the general concept is to paddle the 3 largest Lakes: Windermere, Ullswater and Coniston in under 12 hours.

We can offer you the choice of craft of either Canoes or Sea Kayaks. The canoes can be rafted together to form a very stable platform, we also have our own sails which means we can use nature to our advantage if the wind is blowing in the right direction.

We are also able to make this challenge harder for you (Only if you wish) by making you mountain bike between the lakes, making it a truly self propelled journey from start to finish.

All transport during the challenge, equipment, food & drinks and a Photo CD are included.

You will be accompanied by qualified instructors who will be on hand to help out should you need it and to keep you from harms way.

If you have never paddled a canoe or a sea kayak before - don't worry as full training and guidance will be given. This event is aimed at complete beginners through to experienced paddlers.
