Sample Itinerary - Guided Bushcraft
Canoe Trail
You would want to start your trail in the
morning - if you want to camp over the previous night just let us
know. If this was the case we would give you directions to
the Campsite or B&B (we could have all the tents up - so all you
would need would be a sleeping bag each). Depending on the
expected time of arrival you could either organize food at the
campsite or you could eat in the pub (next door to the campsite!).
Following morning we would collect you from the
campsite and drive you to the top of the river where we would kit
you out, provide instruction and then begin the trail (note it
says trail not Trial!). We generally cover a 'good' distance
on the first day (12-15 km).
That night we would bivvy overnight in the
deepest darkest depths of Norfolk under Tarps (tents might be
available if you have any real wusses!!). This will be the
opportunity to learn some mystical Bushcraft, including
firelighting skills, cooking over an open fire, etc. The
degree of Bushcraft Skills / Backwoods cooking etc. can be
adjusted to suit your current experience levels (from complete
beginner to expert) - please advise of any specific requirements.
We will probably go for an evening paddle -
there will be some great opportunities for wildlife spotting /
photography at this time of the evening. Later that evening
the may wish to partake in camp fire stories and adult beverages!
The following morning after a hearty breakfast
we will regroup. Dependent on time possible look at more
Bushcraft type skills. We then break camp and continue our
journey down the river winding our way through the broads system -
stopping off at points of interest and wildlife spotting on route.
This programme would be repeated on subsequent days - working our
way through the broads. On the last day we would normally
finish at 4pm (but this is flexible) and return you to your
vehicle(s).
