Overview
A fantastic Kayak hire trip for those to experience the tranquil calm waters of the historic SSSI Cromford Canal at a slow steady pace.
Instruction may be given at the start to give you paddle handling technique to help you get control of your tandem kayak along with a safety briefing, help given to get into and out of the kayaks. An instructor at
certain times may be on the water to enable safe passage around the canal boat
before you are released to journey unaided for a calm, nice and relaxed
slow kayak paddle down the canal to High Peak Junction and return, whilst
enjoying the abundant wildlife along the way.
