Top Cambridge Outdoor Activities - page 2

Explore the scenic beauty of Cambridge from a unique perspective with a private rowing experience for four. After a quick safety briefing and a demonstration in a high-tech gym, you’ll learn the essentials of rowing with a coach. Once you're familiar with the technique, it's time to hit the water in a stable quad boat, gliding past historic boathouses and under charming bridges. This hands-on adventure not only teaches teamwork but also immerses you in the rich rowing culture of Cambridge, culminating in the satisfaction of putting the boats away after your session.

The treasure hunt was created by a Cambridge Green Badge Guide who wants to share with you his love of the quirky and rather unusual spots in Cambridge. This will take you to one or two spots that are off-the-beaten-path and that I am confident you wouldn't have found by yourself. Many locals in Cambridge are unaware of these! You will do this in your own private group, but at the end I will meet you again and share with you some intriguing facts and details about the things that you discovered. This will certainly give you a unique perspective on Cambridge.

Kick off your rowing adventure at the City of Cambridge Rowing Club, where you'll get a solid introduction to the sport. After a 30-minute session on rowing machines focusing on timing and technique, it's time to hit the water. In a stable 'double' boat, you'll practice your newly learned strokes on the beautiful River Cam. With a skilled instructor by your side, two participants will board the boat for an exhilarating hour of rowing, complete with a memorable photo opportunity. Perfect for beginners and those looking to refine their skills in a stunning setting.
