   Chris and Barney are an amazing duo! We booked as three families with young children, and Chris was incredibly kind and patient with everyone. He taught us the basics of canoeing clearly and made it easy to understand. The kids were kept engaged with fun games and the exciting hunt for the stegosaurus, which they loved. We’ll definitely be back for more activities with Chris and Barney—highly recommend!

   We went out this weekend for a stag do. The experience was one that left us taking about it all day. Chris was a warm and helpful guide and he kept the experience fun with lots of games which had us all in stitches. Chris and Barney are a great pair and I'd highly recommend getting out on the water with them. Thanks to you both again for a great time and being so patient with us. It was one to remember!

   Booked this activity for my friend’s hendo and it honestly was amazing! The games and challenges set on the way had us in tears of laughter. The cromford canal is honestly so pretty, the views are incredible! Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful, but thoroughly enjoyable activity

   Went abseiling at Monsal head this morning with my Chris, had an excellent time!! Felt very safe and got lots of goes to try different ways of going down the bridge. Was a really fun activity and I would definitely do it again with my family through Chris.

   Excellent canoe trip with Chris, brilliant instruction and guidance in navigating the rapids of the river Derwent! Such a fun afternoon!! 10/10 experience, and 11/10 for his dog Barney. He didn’t help much but was a very good boy.

   Absolutely wonderful canoeing experience with our 7 year old son. It was a lot of hard work trying to keep the canoe straight and not tip over as we did the 'shoot the duck' or 'duck under the bridge' challenges. Barney (the dog) was the star of the show! Chris is an amazing trainer - patient and a great sense of humour! Pointing out to wildlife as we paddled along the canal. Thank you Chris and Barney - we will be back soon, I am sure!

   Our group of 11 had a fantastic morning with Chris, learning how to canoe. He was very patient with our varying needs, and expertly managed to get us all paddling straight within a very short time. Some of us were even confident enough to play some games, which included swapping boats. Chris is a really great teacher and some of his passion for canoeing has inspired some of us to start looking to take up canoeing. Forgot to mention Barney, who is the star of the show! Thanks again Chris.
