Paddling Britain - Lizzie Carr - Bog

Bag om Paddling Britain

This new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt's Paddling Britain remains the definitive guide to stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing - increasingly popular waterborne activities that explore British coastlines and inland waterways. Written by Lizzie Carr (aka Lizzie Outside, Britain's best known paddleboarder), it showcases Britain's 50 best places to enjoy recreational paddling from Cornwall to Norfolk, Cumbria and the Cairngorms. Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), in particular, is sweeping across Britain, giving people the opportunity to explore waterways ranging from city rivers to remote and untouched areas that would otherwise be left inaccessible. Whether you're looking for a nice day out, a weekend adventure or a more daring paddleboarding challenge, Bradt's Paddling Britain will inspire and inform. The waters of England, Wales and Scotland are all featured, from rivers and canals to coastal strips and island circuits. Described in loving detail and with gentle humour, each location contains practical information about how to find these distinctive spots and what to expect on your journey. With Bradt's Paddling Britain, you can paddle between two of the Scilly Isles in under 10 minutes, or kayak across the UK's highest and longest aqueduct. Alternatively, you can paddle along Dorset's prehistoric Jurassic Coast, visit the Lake District's sole inhabited island, which opens just five days a year, or paddle in self-indulgent tranquillity through the hustle and bustle of London. Alongside detailed routes for each location, plus tips on wildlife and secret spots, Paddling Britain advises on where to stay and eat, getting there, and when to go. It also provides the low-down on everything you need to know for successful and enjoyable stand-up paddleboarding, from safety tips to kit, weather watching to paddling responsibly. The author, Lizzie Carr, says: 'this book responds to the countless questions I receive from paddleboarders looking to explore new places and get new experiences from their SUP. Whether people want to take their families for a weekend adventure or enjoy a camping getaway with friends, Paddling Britain aims to answer these questions and inspire people to get outside and explore the UK water scene both coastal and inland.'
