Unless we agree otherwise, we will launch from a grand old boathouse on the eastern shore of Windermere. With easy access to the water it is perfect for beginners! After honing your skills by the boathouse we can head out onto the lake to explore. There are always beautiful old boats to admire and if we're lucky we may catch a glimpse of an old steam boat or one of the low flying Jets that train over the lake. During our trip I can share my knowledge of the local area, informing you on anything from the local wildlife and surrounding mountains, to the best spots to grab a bite to eat after the activity. Towards the end of the activity, if you feel comfortable, I may put some distance between us to allow you to fully soak up the surroundings in peace. Other things to note - - Please be aware, for safety reasons I can't take people paddling on a 1:1 basis. If you don't have a travel buddy please don't book, instead message me with the dates you are around and I'll try and find someone else to join us. - If your preferred date isn’t listed click the 'contact host' button in the meet your host section and select 'request a specific date'. I'll do my best to accommodate. - The ability to swim and a reasonable level of fitness is required. Any questions with regards to this please contact me.

A brief but inspiring discussion on meditation and why we do it with horses will motivate you to be dedicated and vigilant in your practice. Then we go and meet the horses and I will teach you the basics in animal meditation. Then we groom the horses; this is the best way to get the horses to accept you as herd members as they bond by grooming each other. As we start to meditate, the more stable, connected and balanced the client, the easier it is for the horse to step into his role of soothing, regulating, teaching and inspiring with his gentle and peaceful energy. Often the horses will lie down and we can get down on the grass with them and be close and connected. We work on touching the horses in specific areas and watching for significant reactions to detect connection. There is often an opportunity to test your connection by asking the horses to follow you without a lead and then you can take a little walk together. We often finish with a beautiful guided meditation which will be chosen depending on the specific needs of the client. We always end the session with gratitude and a big horsey cuddle. Other things to note In the summer there may be flies. Bring sun hats and sun cream. Wrap up warm and water proof on winter and please wear wellies or firm boots. No experience of horses or meditation needed but please arrive with an open heart and an open mind.

Experience the Lake District from a different perspective, from the water! INTO THE OUTSIDE's Kayak tours are suitable for everyone from beginners to seasoned paddlers travelling without their kit! We have many beautiful bodies of water here in the Lake District, the location will take into account where you are staying, what you would like to see and the forecast for the day (please bear in mind that the location may need to be altered in the event of adverse weather conditions). We will cover the fundamental skills for controlling your craft and our safety top tips, before journeying further a field, exploring places of interest around the lake! If you're up for it we can hone your skills and build your confidence through some games and challenges which might result in getting a bit wetter! At INTO THE OUTSIDE we are all about bespoke adventures so if you've got the energy why not combine Kayaking with another 1/2 day adventure for the ultimate day out?! We offer Wild Swimming, Canoeing, Guided Walks and Mountain Biking. What's more you could take your lake experience to the next level and stay overnight on a wild Lake District island, see our accommodation listing for Canoe Hammock Camp.

After a short introduction, we get on the water for a journey north, up Lake Windermere in Canadian Canoes - these can be stabilised if it would benefit the group or the weather is challenging. On the way you experience the profound shape of the Lake District Mountains rising up as we travel from the flatter coastlands towards the high hills. We make landfall at a piece of isolated land sticking out into the lake where we set up our day camp, learn to light fires from flint and cook our own three course lunch on the beach surrounded by trees and water. Depending on conditions and needs we have a fantastic motor boat that can accompany us, this gives a great platform for equipment transport, can bring wheel chairs (wheel chairs just roll onto the front ramp), whizz someone back to a specialist toilet and the ability to take the group home if we're late leaving. We don't always bring it - we make a judgement depending on the needs of the group and conditions. The actual event order is somewhat weather dependent and we will discuss alternative options for challenging weather nearer the time. Other things to note: We can accommodate a vast range of additional needs. We do however need some notice so we can bring the right equipment and plan accordingly please inform us of any additional needs before booking so we can discuss how best to make your experience great.

See Windermere and its surroundings from a truly unique perspective! When we meet up, you'll be provided with all the equipment you'll need and be talked through some basic paddleboarding skills. Don't worry, Paddle Boards are surprisingly stable and easy to control so you'll quickly get to grips with forward paddling, turning and stopping. Once you're ready, we'll head out onto the lake to find the perfect spot to watch the sun drop down behind the hills. If you're feeling comfortable and confident with your paddling ability, you'll have some space to enjoy the moment in the beautiful and tranquil surroundings. Once the sun has dropped and the light is beginning to fade, we'll make our way back to our starting point. Other things to note - - For safety reasons I don’t operate on a 1:1 basis.
