Canoe Trip down the River Eden in Cumbria | Exploring Lacys Caves | Canoe River Trip | White Water

Join me and my friend Will as we head down the River Eden, Cumbria in open canoes. For some reason we thought this was going to be about 3-4 hours from our research. We did stop a few times but it was more like 7 / 7.5 hours, so by the end we were exhausted. With me thinking it was only 3 hours or so I hammered the GoPro in the first hour or so which meant the batteries had died for what unbeknownst to us was the better part of the river, rapids & scenery wise...absolutely stunning that last section to Armathwaite bridge! We caught the last part where we could on our phones, which was a bit of a shame but it is what it is...we will go back and next time save some battery. Even though we checked the river levels all week and the day we went, in some parts of the river there was hardly any water, we ran what rapids we felt comfortable running and lined a few that would be easily ran with some more water on. We stopped for refreshments at the well known Lacy's Caves, a series of 5 chambers in the red sandstone cliff of River Eden, just north of Little Salkeld, and had a nosey around and sent the drone up too. Amazing area of the country and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to paddle.
