What do I need to bring?

All you really need to bring is sufficient base clothing to wear and some suitable footwear. Our stores have a range of Peak UK soft wear as well as paddles and poles available if needed. We have an extensive selection of different styles of kayaks and canoes from a range of manufacturers. This is an ideal opportunity to try something new if you'd like to. We have rescue dry suits available but if you have your own we would advise you to bring it along.

Please note that an additional British Canoeing fee applies to this course which you can pay during the course.

How should I prepare?
You'll need to be fully conversant with the white-water safety and rescue skills, as this course will build on these foundations.
