Description
Come kayaking in Sussex and spend a unique day in nature! We will paddle up the River Ouse from Barcombe Mills to Isfield Weir and stop to rest and take pictures at the charming Anchor Inn.
On this kayaking day, we will first spend some time at Barcome learning correct technique, posture and how to turn, brake and paddle backward. Then, we will set off on our kayaks for a total of 10km and enjoy catching sight of herons, swans, Canadian geese, dragonflies, damselflies, and maybe the odd sea trout on the way. Before arriving at Isfield Weir, we will stop at Anchor Inn to rest. In winter, we will enjoy warming our hands at the Inn’s fire stove, in summer, we can enjoy drinks by the river. Finally, we will continue on our kayaking adventure until we reach Weir.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
