Events & Courses :: Nightpaddle on the River Dart
Nick Burton-Taylor and 'Spindle Wayfarer'
May 31 and September 13
Cost: £25 (including campfire supper)/£10 for non-paddling children

The Dart river valley is bursting with life and vitality, its beauty unspoiled and waters unpolluted.
The Nightpaddle is an evening spent meandering gently up the river giving you the opportunity to sink into the exquisite scenery and the rhythm of the river.

The adventure starts at Totnes boatshed, King Edwards School (KEVICS) at 6pm and will finish at approximately 10.30-11pm

Carrying everything we need in the canoes, we will journey for several miles. The pace is relaxed, and there will be plenty of time to spend around the campfire, or to swim, play, and enjoy a delicious communal meal in the company of the storyteller, Spindle Wayfarer! The return journey is a magical experience of the river at night.
 
We provide canoes, equipment and teach all the necessary skills. Also included in the cost is a campfire dinner.

NB. No previous experience of canoeing is necessary, although participants must be able to swim.

 

Please bring a torch and spare clothing, spare footwear you can get wet, and a hat.

Cost : £25 per head, £10 for non-paddling youngsters.
