点评:After a thorough safety briefing, we headed out for a couple of hours on the river.
The children, aged 8 and 9, had an absolutely fabulous time. The Kantakanu was incredibly stable and surprisingly manoeuvrable. They were soon confidently paddling themselves and, with a little steering from the adults at the back, we made great progress upstream to Weston before enjoying a gentle drift back to The Boathouse.
The two hours flew by. We were lucky enough to see dragonflies, kingfishers, herons, moorhens and plenty of other wildlife along the way. The river itself was beautifully clean, apart from a handful of bottles and an abandoned plant pot, which we were happy to retrieve as we passed.
The resident swans, Ron and Collie, were kind enough to pose for a few photos, much to the children’s delight!
Huge thanks to Byron, Lee and the whole CK Paddle team. This wasn’t our first visit and it certainly won’t be our last. Every trip is well organised, relaxed and great fun, and we always leave having made wonderful family memories.
Highly recommended for families, whether you’re complete beginners or just looking for a different way to spend a couple of hours on the water.
翻译:在进行了详尽的安全说明之后,我们便出发,在河上畅游了两个小时。
那两个8岁和9岁的孩子玩得开心极了。Kantakanu独木舟极其稳定,操控性也出奇地好。没过多久,他们就能熟练地自己划桨了;在后方大人们的少许引导之下,我们顺利逆流而上抵达韦斯顿,随后又悠然顺流返回船屋。
两个小时转瞬即逝。我们很幸运地看到了蜻蜓、翠鸟以及苍鹭。沿途可以看到水鸡以及许多其他野生动物。河水非常清澈,只有少数几个瓶子和一个被遗弃的花盆,我们在经过时欣然将其捡了起来。
那里的常住天鹅——罗恩和科利,也很配合地摆姿势让我们拍照,孩子们高兴极了!
衷心感谢拜伦、李以及整个CK Paddle团队。这并非我们第一次光临,也肯定不会是最后一次。每次体验都安排得井然有序、轻松愉快且乐趣无穷。每次离开时,我们都会留下美好的家庭回忆。
无论您是完全的初学者,还是只是想换种方式在水上度过几个小时,这里都非常适合家庭前来体验,强烈推荐!
