点评:What a day!
My wife and I were looking for a day kayaking in the lakes to really get to grips with kayaking skills. We found Iain online, and after a quick chat, planned a whole day on Ullswater.
I'd also asked if we could spend any downtime on the day learning 101 orienteering skills.
What can I say... It was the adventure highlight of our trip! Weather was poor in the morning, so we shuffled the day to spend the morning learning all about mapping, pacing, wayfinding etc - had an awesome time navigating the hills around Glenridding and Iain taught us about the trees/landscapes too.
Then we hit the kayaks in the afternoon. Bit windy, shallow waters because of the recent dry spells, but great fun.
Iain was super encouraging, flexible, and got us trying things we'd not done before. Built so much confidence in the foundational skills you MUST have when going hiking.
The day was brilliant, even more adventurous and educational than we could have imagined 🙌 great fun.
Thank you Iain & Lakes Outdoor Experience. 100% recommend.
翻译:多么美好的一天!
我和妻子想在湖里划一天皮划艇,好好练练皮划艇技巧。我们在网上找到了伊恩,简短聊了几句后,就计划在乌尔斯沃特湖玩一整天。
我还问了我们能不能利用当天的空闲时间学习101项定向越野技能。
怎么说呢……这真是我们旅行中最精彩的冒险!早上天气不好,所以我们调整了行程,利用上午的时间学习地图绘制、步速控制、路线导航等等——在格伦里丁周围的山丘上度过了一段美好的时光,伊恩还教了我们关于树木和风景的知识。
然后我们下午去划皮划艇。由于最近的干旱,风有点大,水也比较浅,但玩得很开心。
伊恩非常鼓励我们,也很灵活,让我们尝试以前从未尝试过的事情。这让我们对徒步旅行必备的基本技能有了很大的信心。
这一天真是太棒了,比我们想象的还要刺激,也更有教育意义🙌太好玩了。
感谢Iain和Lakes Outdoor Experience。100%推荐。
