FOREST ACTIVITY CENTRE

E-mail: info@forestadventure.co.uk Web: www.forestadventure.co.uk

At Forest Adventure, we can accommodate groups for any occasion, whether it be a stag or hen-do, birthday party or a group of friends on a weekend away.

Our choice of activities caters for everyone from the novice to the experienced. The Wye Valley is Canoe Country!

We paddle the most scenic stretches of the river, from placid water to turbulent rapids. Your instructor will brief you on kayak/canoe control, and safety procedures. You will be taught flat water skills and moving water techniques, all combined with a lot of fun and games! Maybe train towards your star awards - a national award system accredited by the British Canoe Union. Canoe & Bivouac Weekends - An all inclusive river safari from Hoarwithy to Monmouth - a magical and memorable experience and the very spirit of adventure! RAFT BUILDING (Water Based) - Using barrels, poles, paddles, buoyancy aids and helmets, the group constructs a raft of their own design with the encouragement of our instructors. The success of the raft is tested whilst the instructor supervises from a kayak or canoe as a safety boat. These sessions are run by a British Canoe Union Level 2 or Level 3 Coach. We offer many other land based activities.
