Raft%20Build%20adultsRaft%20Build%20hen%20group

 Logs, barrels, a bit of rope and some paddles… are you ready to create a raft that will help you to escape the shores of Lake Windermere. 

Design and construct your your craft in teams of four - 
Once you are confident with your design, prepare for sea (lake) trialls. 

When the teams are ready you will be issued with a rationed amount of materials and limited amount of time to create a functioning water craft. 

When your time runs out it is time for the testing phase, can your boat stand up to the rigorous testing on Lake  and can your team complete the challenges. 

Raft building and canoeing operate from the same site at South Windermere so its  a great opportunity to combine the acivities.  Our full day activities work out amazing value for money more...

Stay on the site and cook your own 3 course lunch with our bushcraft instructors  more...
 

"Go For It!" is our challenge activty day for larger groups.  It finishes with Raft Building races to establish the winner, however the winner is likley  to be the team who does the best at the challneges throughout the day and therefore has the most money to spend on Raft Building resources.  Great for work teams or competive Stag, Hen or Sten groups more...

The cafe at Fell Foot National Trust Park sells cake and sandwiches, alternatively there are some cracking spots to have a picnic between your activites.  Be prepared to get wet, it would be worth bringing a spare pair of clothes to change into mid-day.
