Dark Sky Canoeing on Coniston Water
Wednesday 15th November 2023 from 15:30pm to 18:30pm
Brown Howe Car Park - Coniston
Brown Howe, Coniston, Cumbria, LA12 8DW
Experience something truly unique. Join us on a tranquil night-time canoe paddle on Coniston Water and enjoy the beauty and vastness of the night sky in the heart of the Lake District. Expect to meet like-minded people on this magical experience.
The guided canoe tour will start in the daylight, giving you time to get to grips with paddling the canoe.
We will find a secluded bay, enjoy a hot brew and watch as the sun sets over the magnificent mountain scenery.
Once the sun has set, we will continue our canoe journey, stopping to look up and marvel at the stars, identify some constellations and see the beauty of the Milky Way.
This event occurs as part of the Cumbria Dark Skies Festival 2023.
Please note that this has already taken place on 15/11/2023
