This adventure-packed day will start with a pick-up from Manchester, and then we'll drive over to The Anderton Centre where you'll meet the Stand-Up Paddleboarding instructor and change into the correct safety equipment. (Changing rooms on site and all equipment is provided.) Then you're in the water for a morning of paddleboarding for beginners! (You will not require any experience but you will be required to be able to swim.)
​
After drying down and grabbing some food (don't forget to pack sandwiches and snacks) we'll then start a short walk up to Rivington Pike for some fantastic views. From the pike we will head back down to the reservoir having a look around a hidden castle by the water the perfect way to finish off the day!
