This trip is rated 5/5.
Prior canoeing experience is required.
You will be canoeing down the biggest rapids in Shropshire; the risk of capsize is very real but we will prep you on how to avoid this and we will be there to rescue you if you do!
Meet us in Bridgnorth; we will drive you to Ironbridge.
In Ironbridge, you will be briefed about the route and assigned kit, including a helmet to wear until you reach the bottom of Jackfield Rapids.
You will paddle for approximately one mile, under the Iron Bridge, before reaching the rapids.
We will have an experienced member of staff, who is trained in white-water safety and rescue, on the bank to supervise you as you paddle down the rapids.
You can then continue the rest of the journey at your own pace, enjoying the new and varied scenery of a different section of the River Severn!
Stop off on a beach along the way for a break and a picnic.
Finish in Bridgnorth.

Book Now for Saturday 4th JuneBe prepared to get wet! Your canoe will take on water as you go through Jackfield Rapids.
Wear waterproofs or quick-dry clothing and leave a change of clothes in your car in Bridgnorth. Wear shoes in which you would be happy to stand in water up to your ankles.
All you really need to bring is water, a light lunch, your phone and keys, plus maybe a spare top to put on if you get cold. Keep all of this safely stowed away and protected from the water as best you can. We will give you dry bags or barrels as required.
