Preparation guide
What do I need to bring?

All you really need to bring is sufficient base clothing to wear under a wetsuit and some suitable footwear. Our stores have a range of Peak UK soft wear as well as paddles, tow-lines etc. We have an extensive selection of different styles of sea kayaks from the P&H and Venture range. This is an ideal opportunity to try something new if you'd like to. If you prefer the familiar, feel free to bring along your own kit. We have rescue dry suits available for these elements of the training but if you have your own we would advise you to bring it along.

How should I prepare?
You should be an active paddler and ensure you're fit enough for five days of activity.
