SUP and Wild Camping..!If you love Stand Up Paddle and you have an appetite for the great Norfolk outdoors, then this SUP and Wild Camp adventure is just for you. An all day SUP paddle, a remote overnight wild camp followed by more SUP paddling on the second day around some of the most stunning scenery the Broads has to offer, forms the backbone of this awesome SUP adventure. This is no regular SUP trip as here at NOA we strive to educate and empower people to be quite simply better equipped for the outdoors. We’ll teach you the ways to be more responsible, practical and respectful whilst out in the wilds and will share with you the 7 principals of Leave No Trace allowing to you to enjoy the outdoors in a more responsible and respectable way for you to then pass on to others.
Maps, Paddles & Hot Water...Reading maps for navigation, improving your SUP paddling skills, learning how to pack your equipment on boards for mini or multi-day adventures, SUP safety, looking for rest stops, zero impact camping, working with the weather and how to make hot food and drinks on the move from what’s around you - this trip will teach you all of this whilst out in the open landscape, all whilst leaving no trace and zero environmental impact.
