Which Shade of Canoe Are You? 🚣‍♂️

☀️ Sunshine Yellow
Taking it easy, soaking up the views, and stopping for plenty of photos.

✨ Highlighter Yellow
First on the water, full of energy, and determined to win a race nobody else knew was happening.

🟠 Not Quite Yellow
"I'll come canoeing... but only if there's a café at the end."

No matter your shade of canoe, there's still time to enjoy an adventure on the River Severn before the season ends! 😄

Available this weekend!
