We will be travelling to Dartmoor in March.
The aim is to travel up on the Friday afternoon/evening and stay at a bunkhouse. We will paddle on the Saturday and Sunday before travelling back on the Sunday evening.
The trip will cater for canoeists, kayakers and paddleboarders, with the plan to split the group into two or three groups with peer led experienced paddles and coached beginner groups. If you are unsure on your suitability for this trip, please speak to one of the organisers.
Finer Details:
- Bunkhouse - Pengelly bunkhouse (Its basic, but functional, you'll need a sleeping bag, pillow, sleeping matt, shared rooms, 25 bunks, lots of floor space if people want it)
- Location Buckfastleigh
- Cost £40-50 PP Inc Bunk, Breakfast and Lunch
- Dinner Sat Night -TBC will either be dinner at the bunkhouse or local pub
Rivers, water dependent
Experienced Paddlers will paddle the Dart Loop, Plym, Teign, Tavy or Walkham

Where preferred, we will aim to buddy people up for travelling to reduce fuel costs (we usually see between 2 and 4 people travelling together). You will need to feed yourself Friday night, that said there are lots of places to eat on route or takeaways in Buckfastleigh
