Long Boat Sailing

Details

What does the activity involve?
Learn to sail in a stable boat with an instructor on board. With up to 8 people per boat this is a sociable experience and with two boats the whole group can take part. These large boats can operate the majority of the year and are ideal for those less mobile or those not confident venturing onto the lake as you do not get wet or go in the water.

What are the aims of this activity?
Encourages teamwork and communication to successfully sail the boat. Listening and observation skills are particularly required. Basic understanding of the skills needed for sailing are also developed.

By Road
The southern Lake District is conveniently linked to the M6 motorway. To find Lakeside, leave the M6 at Junction 36 and follow the A590 which is sign-posted Barrow-in- Furness. Approximately 18 miles after leaving the motorway you will reach the Newby Bridge roundabout. Continue through the roundabout on the A590 and turn first right over a bridge and past the Swan Hotel. Lakeside is sign-posted three and a half miles along this road on the right. The Main entrance is based at North Camp which is the second turning after South Camp.

By Rail
South Lakeland is linked to all mainline services. The nearest station is at Grange-Over-Sands which is connected with the stations of Lancaster and Carnforth on the West Coast Line making it an easy destination from London, Scotland, or continental Europe. It is also possible to reach Lakeside from the east of Britain by taking the picturesque Leeds to Lancaster line that also connects at Carnforth. From Grange-Over-Sands station, road transport to Lakeside is required.
