Planning Your Visit

Many thanks to Alan for a really enjoyable and packed weekend introduction to paddling. Really great value for money. Will definitely be back!!

An absolutely amazing place for kids. Best way to take first steps in canoeing, kayaking, archery for your kids. Saturday sessions, holiday club. For kids over 8 years old. Activities for adults as well, I haven’t tried that though.

Great weekend 1 star paddle course. Brilliant! Enjoyed a fantastic 2 day 1 star paddle course this weekend. Thank you Alan for being a great teacher. Amazing place. We all had a great time and learnt a lot.

I realised that no one in Girls Outdoors would ever do this! All I heard was: ‘Good try!’ and ‘You will get there next time.’. And I did! 🙂. This is why I love GO ♥ positivity never leaves the group 😀

A huge thank you from the SPACE charity for an amazing paddlesports level 1 session today. Andrew and Terry were fantastic with the group and the feedback from the parent’s & teens has been amazing. We look forward to running more events at HYMB very soon!!

Love this place great for the kids and grown-ups alike

Both my sons have been on several courses and had a fantastic time and earned some qualifications whilst having fun!

Started openwater swimming there on a Wednesday evening. Fantastic lake to swim in with amazing coaching by BeEndurance coaching.
