The Great North Paddle - Caledonian Canal · 11 April 2013

The Lake District Calvert Trust provides residential outdoor activity courses for people of all ages with physical, sensory, learning, behavioural and/or mental disabilities. Its mission is to challenge disability through outdoor adventure. Pioneering equipment adaptations, and intensive, instructor-led activity programmes (that include climbing, abseiling, canoeing, sailing, horse/trap driving, archery, orienteering and paragliding), provide an environment whose aims are to teach, challenge, motivate, engender confidence in ability, promote independence, and foster integration. All instructors are highly trained and specialist qualified, and the facilities are specially adapted and fully accessible to all. The Lake District Calvert Trust provides a unique and life-changing experience for those with disabilities, who are encouraged to believe that it’s what you CAN do that counts.

Story

Having not spent much time kayaking in the past, the prospect of kayaking 60+ miles in 3 days is daunting to say the least.......but exciting nevertheless.

The Lake District Calvert Trust do some wonderful work and I am proud to be doing the event in aid of their charity. Their efforts have a hugely positive impact on so many peoples lives.

Between now and the event (July 11th-14th), we will be doing a number of fund raising activities - a spring gala, selling home made greetings cards, a charity car wash, a charity quiz etc - hopefully it will be a fun way to get as many people involved and raise as much money as we can for a very worthy cause.
