Build stamina, improve your core and upper body strength, pump up the cardio, reduce stress, top up your Vitamin D and then go to the pub. Sounds perfect, right?

Three Rivers Pitch and Paddle gives you a new opportunity to get out on the water in October and March with paddling tips from an experienced local guide. Hop into either a canoe or kayak and learn new skills or build up your confidence as you explore the River Waveney, gracefully winding through the stunning Broads National Park and pretty countryside near the picturesque village of Geldeston in Norfolk.

Breathe in the beauty of the tree lined riverside as your guide tells you about the landscape and wildlife. At this peaceful time of year on the quiet river, you’re more likely to see Little Grebes, Herons, Cormorants, Red Kite, Shrike, and Cetti’s Warbler and maybe even a splashing otter!

These sociable tours are designed for small groups of people who’d like a few tips on making the most of their paddling. Book with friends or make new ones! You’ll get stuck in for around 45 to 60 minutes, then stop at community owned The Locks Inn for a welcome drink (not included in price) before heading back to the Three Rivers. The Locks pub garden is a gorgeous scenic riverside spot, lovely on a golden autumn day or when early spring awakens before the crowds of summer nab all the tables!
