Raft Building – Bushcraft – Hill Walking in Coniston with Adventure North West

About

Raft Building – This is the ideal activity for groups of 8 or more who want to challenge both their mind and body. The aim of the session is for you and your group to work out how to build a raft using only wooden spars, barrels, and ropes.

So, think carefully about how you build it, otherwise you might end up with a different view of the lake when you are in it! You will then be expected to launch your raft on the lake and paddle to a given destination, that’s if it stays in one piece! If you are up for more challenges and games, your instructor will get you involved in doing little challenges when you are out on the water – be aware you may get wet!

With larger groups, you might be working in teams, in competition against one another. When out on the water you can then choose to take part in some games, such as races or tug of war between the two rafts (wetsuits and helmets are provided). This activity is very well suited to stag and hen groups, as well as, larger groups of friends and families.

Hill Walking: Do you enjoy going for walks and taking in the surrounding countryside views, but would rather not take on the task of navigating yourselves? If so, we can lead the way and take you to see some of the views within the South Lakes.

If you want to brush up on your map reading skills and want to navigate yourself around various walks around the South Lakes, this could be the activity for you. We are happy to incorporate scavenger hunts, nature trails and problem-solving activities within the day or half day session. This activity is great for friends, families, and corporate groups.
