2 hour guided trips- there will be approximately half an hour each side to get prepared and pack up.

DETAILS:
The sessions last for 2 hours on the water, and are geared up to teach people the joy of watersports. We require you to be water confident and it is desirable that you have paddled before.
Our instructors are all qualified/insured paddlesports coaches with bags of experience and an unwavering passion for bringing out the best in others.
We like to think that as well as learning something new, you are paddling towards a new lifestyle and once you’ve had a go, you’ll be hooked.
We can tailor the session to meet your objectives with our guidance of social distancing. We are very keen to support mental wellbeing- this is an opportunity to relax in nature, try out some basic yoga moves along with mindfulness. You are welcome to a swim at the end of the session too!

What has been your best moment when you connected with nature?
One morning, a friend and I woke early to get out in a canoe. We launched at South Walsham inner broad and in the dark mist of dawn, we silently paddled across the stillness, mirror-like water. We sat on the outer broad and watched the sun rise on the horizon. From a small dot through the cloud, it shone brighter and brighter. To sit and listen to nature, breathing in this amazing site. There are no words that truly describe this experience, this connection.
With Rooted in Nature, let us help you discover and explore your roots with nature.

Ann is also an Assistant Forest School Leader, Archery Instructor and our Sea Kayaking Specialist!
What has been your best moment when you connected with nature? Going on a sea kayaking journey is one of my absolute favourite things to do. I love how the days seem to slow down, and nothing from your day to day life matters anymore. You get to see the world at a more relaxed pace and you get to remember who the real you is. It took me a while to work out why I have met so many amazing people on kayak expeditions. It’s not just that everyone who kayaks is awesome, but you can form much deeper connections with people when you and they are relaxed.
