Secure a spot on the South Lakes Adventure or North Lakes Adventure — check availability or join the waitlist.
Bring trainers that can get wet
Old or quick-dry trainers that stay on in current are better than flip-flops; neoprene booties are ideal if you have them.
Wear swimwear under your kit
Put swimwear beneath your wetsuit so you’re ready for swims and jumps without changing on the bank.
Pack a compact packed lunch
You’ll stop riverside for lunch; choose high-energy, non-messy foods and a reusable container to reduce waste.
Listen to your guide
Guides tailor runs to conditions—follow instructions immediately to stay safe in moving water and when doing jumps.
Trainers or river shoes
Secure footwear that stays on in current helps when launching, wading and scrambling onto riverbanks.
Swimwear or quick-dry base layer
Wear under your wetsuit so you’re ready for swims without changing clothes mid-day.
Waterproof jacket
A lightweight shell keeps you warm between river sessions and protects against wind and rain.
Small dry bag or waterproof phone case
Protect keys, phone and snacks from splashes while moving on the water.
