TWO sporting adventures are on offer to youngsters later this month.

There will be a two-day canoe camp at Ullswater, in the Lake District, from August 22 to 23, open to anyone aged between 11 and 16. It costs £20 to £24 per person.

A two-day mountain bike expedition will also be held in Commondale, North Yorkshire, from August 25 to 26.

The taster session, which is aimed at 14 to 16-year-olds, costs £16 to £20.

Both events are being run by Hartlepool Borough Council's sports development team and food, tents, equipment and transport will be supplied.

Dave Griffiths, of the sports development team, said: "These are two great opportunities for young people to try two exciting leisure activities, as well as boost their fitness and make new friends."
