Active Sports is a provider of
recreational adventure at its
best,
providing activities and adventure in the Air, on the Water, and over
Land, to industry,
education, and the general public.
Introduction
We pride ourselves in these two disciplines with over 27 years of experience.
Based in the Borders, many of the courses we run are well catered for by the
local rivers, such as The Tweed, Teviot, Border Esk, Ettrick, Yarrow and many
more. Although we have great variety in the Borders, we like to indulge
ourselves and run many trips north, adding as many rivers and lochs to our log
books as we can.
We have courses for every need:
Canoeing
What a great way to spend a day with the family and friends paddling down the
river - Dad in the back, Mum in the front and the kids in the middle. Or
maybe its you in the back with your partner in the front getting a taste of
white water!
When we go canoeing we always take a picnic: crisps, biscuits, sweets,
lemonade, and of course the wine (low alcohol of course!) It's brill, stopping
half way down the river chilling out! Sometimes its such a hard life being an instructor!
Age range: 8 years
and older (Parents must accompany)
Kayaking
This is almost a different sport from canoeing. You're on your own, so you can't
blame your partner if you keep going round in circles! But once you have
mastered the basics, the Border Rivers will give you endless challenges (be
prepared to take a few swims!)
Age range: 10 years
and older (Parents must accompany)
Location: Central
Borders and North of Scotland
Age Range: See
above
