WHY THE THREE LAKES CHALLENGE?
The Three Lakes Challenge is designed to test your endurance to the limits. Paddle Great Britain as you take on Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake) in Wales, Windermere in England, and Loch Awe in Scotland.
Previous canoeing experience, careful planning and training is required. However, you can complete this UK kayak, canoe or SUP challenge in your own time, and at your own pace.
The 3 Lakes Challenge suits all motivations, whether it is for a personal challenge, charity fundraising, attempting the fastest time, or just for the enjoyment of a canoeing challenge.
To enter use the individual challenge pages listed in Challenge Links and Downloads below. Please use the same email address for each upload so we can track your progress across the challenges.
