On Wednesday, WinG Outdoor Activities took an adult group from Walker out for some fun in the sunshine and a chance to enjoy the great outdoors from the water.

The group learned the basic canoeing strokes and put their new skills into practice on some gentle moving water. Once everyone had gained confidence, they enjoyed some time simply relaxing on the calm water, gently drifting along with the flow and taking in the surroundings.

It was a great opportunity to get active, learn something new, enjoy nature and spend time together outdoors.

At WinG Outdoor Activities, we provide canoes, equipment, transport and instruction, making it easy for groups to get outside and try something different.

If your community group, charity or private family group would like to arrange a canoeing session or another outdoor activity, please get in touch.

A Great Day on the Water! 🛶

Last week we took an adult group out canoeing for a chance to learn some basic canoe strokes, paddling techniques and, of course, enjoy some time outdoors!

The group had an adventurous time both on the water and in it! 🌊 A few unexpected swims certainly added to the experience and there were plenty of smiles along the way.

We only managed to capture a limited number of photos this time, as there was simply too much canoeing action going on! We’ll make sure we get more photos next time.

If your community group, family, charity or private group would like the opportunity to have a go at canoeing, learn some new skills and enjoy time together outdoors, please get in touch with WinG Outdoor Activities.

🛶 A Fantastic Day on the Water! 🌿

Today, WinG Outdoor Activities took another group out for an introductory open canoe session, giving participants the opportunity to learn new skills while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of a calm river.

The group learned the basic canoe paddling strokes, identified the different parts of an open canoe, and put their new knowledge into practice by working together to paddle and steer safely. It was great to see everyone developing their confidence, communication and teamwork as they learned to control their canoe on flat water.

The weather couldn't have been better, with glorious sunshine making for a wonderful day outdoors. As well as learning practical paddling skills, participants had the opportunity to slow down, connect with nature and experience the many mental and physical wellbeing benefits that spending time outdoors can bring.

A huge well done to everyone who took part—you should all be proud of your achievements! We look forward to welcoming you back for more outdoor wellbeing adventures.

If you, your community group, charity, school or organisation would like to book WinG Outdoor Activities for a bespoke outdoor activity day, we'd love to hear from you.
