Fabulous trip from Montford Bridge to Shrewsbury. The booking was easy, meet and travel was easy. The hardest part was all the paddling 😂. Great value for money and an interesting way to get a 16 year old away from his computer.
Such a great experience! From being picked up at frankwell carpark to being fitted into the correct safety vests, got a waterproof pouch for my mobile whilst there too. I hired a kayak, my friends hire a canoe and we had such a lovely afternoon, paddling our way along the river. Everything felt safe and secure, with some helpful guidance on navigation and ideas for places to stop for our picnic which was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to go back again and try stand up paddle boards next time!
Had a delightful day out with Hire a Canoe. Nicely organised and felt very safe with regards Covid precautions.
Sensible safety advice and equipment provided.
Once on the river we felt as if we were in a different world - with jumping fish, swans, damselflies, goosanders and kingfishers.
Looking forward to booking another trip soon.
Booked the 1/2 day canoe trip for adult and 13 year old, picked up promptly from Frankwell for 10 min ride to Montford Bridge. Friendly and good short instruction and the off you go. We took about 5 hours in total, very peaceful trip passing swans, geese, ducks and ducklings, lots of buzzards and heron. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend!
