We can’t think of a better place to be or a better way to bask in the beauty of Autumn, than in the stunning landscape of the Lake District by paddleboard. We’ve secured a traditional lakeland farmhouse set in 16 acres of land with it’s own private access to Coniston lake. Our weekend adventure will be spent exploring the lesser known gems by paddle. Think tourist free paddling, flanked by stunning autumnal hued woodlands and fells.
There’ll be time to enjoy a lakeside ramble right from the doorstep of your digs. Log fires, traditional cumbrian pubs, an evening wood-fired sauna by the lake followed by a dip for those feeling bold, plus daily optional Yoga stretches.
ABOUT THE PADDLING: You’ll enjoy three stunning trips on the lakes under our expert tuition. We have our favourites in mind but our destinations will be selected based on wind and weather conditions to give you, THE best paddle experience. All paddles are suitable for anyone with a good level of fitness and basic paddle know-how. There will be two longer days and one shorter day on the water, but with two guides we can take the paddle at your pace, even if the group has mixed ability.Â
ABOUT THE ACCOMMODATION: You’ll be staying at Sunny Bank Farm. A traditional lakeland farmhouse set in 16 acres of its own land. It boasts a 300m private access to Coniston lake, meaning we can paddle quite literally from our door. You can enjoy an early morning cold dip before settling down for breakfast at the farmhouse kitchen table! There’s a games room with pool table, table tennis and darts. Wood fires in the two cosy lounges, ensuite bedrooms and a laundry room. Outside the garden is south facing with views down to the lake and out across fields. It is a dark sky area, perfect for star gazing.
SAMPLE ITINERARY:
Thursday – arrive at the farmhouse in time for a stroll around the grounds and a home cooked supper. Your first evening together is a chance to get to know your fellow weekend adventure buddies. Settle into your surroundings, prep kit, and cozy up next to the log fire or play a game of pool.
Friday – We’re starting off strong with one of our favourite lesser known lake paddles, expect stunning Autumn colours and quintessential lake District views. Lunch will be at a local cafe. Our first evening will include a post paddle yoga stretch for those keen, a home-cooked supper, sauna dip and star gazing with a hot toddy!
Saturday – Enjoy an optional sunrise paddle from our farmhouse, before heading back to the farmhouse for a cuppa and breakfast. We’ll then pack up for a full day of adventure paddling on Coniston lake. Our evening will see us heading off to the local pub for a pint and supper; but not before we’ve stretched our limbs with an optional Yoga stretch session specifically designed for paddlers. If Yoga isn’t your thing you can take a gentle stroll along the lake to unwind in nature.
Sunday – We’ll head off early to make the most of our last day on the water, today we’ll be taking you to one of our favourite secret paddle spots. Have your camera ready because these views are definitely Insta worthy!
