The Plan
The ideal tonic to a busy life! Paddle downstream on the tranquil wooded river of the Great Ouse. You see the world from a whole different perspective when you're on a river. Experience the beautiful countryside, the Willows dipping their branches in the water, birds and fish darting out from the reed beds on the banks.
Enjoy a picnic lunch on the riverside with a refreshing wild swim if you fancy it, then back in the boats for the afternoon, with a well earned meal in the pub at the end of the day.
