Overview
The ultimate guide for all families looking for paddle-powered fun and adventure on the water.
Written by a dream team of paddling experts, this beautifully illustrated book features 55 carefully selected paddles across the UK, suitable for all abilities and ranging from quick paddles to weekend adventures and more challenging routes around the coast (suitable for more confident paddles aged 8+). Opening with all the key info you need to maximise your time on the water, this handy book includes all the know-how to get started, from choosing the right boards or craft, what kit you'll need, to building children's skills through games and activities. Staying safe is key, and there's practical advice on reading weather and water conditions, and making informed decisions before heading out.
The routes are organised by region, each accompanied by a clear map, practical details such as stopping off points, and a flexible 'plan B' option, alongside engaging ideas to capture children's imaginations-from island circumnavigations and shipwreck spotting to geocache treasure hunts and searching for the Loch Ness Monster.
Packed with colour photography, local insights and tips, this is the ultimate family-friendly companion for exploring Britain by paddle.
