Absolutely fantastic weekend away on windermere. We canoed 10 mines in total over 2 days and wild camped over night on the end of Windermere. Fantastic adaptive equipment. Which made the impossible possible for myself whilst still giving it enough of a challenge for us both. It felt like myself and my able bodied sister were on the same level which was amazing. Good quality Camping equipment fully provided along with fantastic food. We both came away saying we had eaten like kings for the weekend. Highlights food wise were the local bakery pies and the home made pizzas. 3 different adaptive seats were available for me to use. All with different levels of support. Vicky and Chris took time to ensure I was comfortable in the canoe. The canoe had stabilisers to ensure I didn’t fall in which would have been very likely without. The tents were ideal and camp beds were available or air mattresses depending on preference . Toilet amazing set up. Proper height. In a tent with good support bars and hand washing facilities. Vicky and Chris took comprehensive info on likes / dislikes and medical requirements on booking. They also contacted me a couple of days before to check if there was anything I specially wanted to eat / drink which was a nice touch. I will be certainly be booking with anyone can again. I am a active wheelchair user who loves a challenge. This trip was tailored to me knowing my needs and therefore if your needs are more do not be put of by my review get in touch with a Vicky and Chris and I’m sure they will accommodate.
