Overview

This five-day course on grade II and III white water is an ideal confidence booster - whether you have limited experience on moving water, you've had a knock in confidence due to a 'big swim', or you've simply been 'out of your boat' for a few years. Our friendly, highly qualified team will spend time helping you to consolidate your existing paddling skills before developing your balance and moving on to more advanced techniques.

Itinerary

* Please note: Itinerary is subject to weather and availability.

What to Expect

On day one, we'll revisit the fundamental skills underpinning white water kayaking. You'll spend the rest of the week on a series river trips to develop your practical skills. We'll also deliver a number of static site-based coaching sessions. Throughout the week, we'll also cover essential safety and rescue skills to enable you to stay safe whilst paddling.

Experience Required

You need to have some white water experience, and be able to perform a flat water roll.

We want to help you focus on achieving your goals, so comfortable accommodation (with WIFI included) and good food are part of the deal - you don't need to think about sorting this out for yourself. Support is on hand from our friendly, and exceptionally well qualified, staff to help develop your understanding and personal skills. They also help you to formulate an appropriate action plan for your further development. What's more, you'll have access to our extensive range of paddling equipment and clothing to use whilst honing your chosen skills. You just bring yourself, your 'can do' attitude, and determination to achieve excellence.

Preparation guide
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 wide range of Peak UK soft wear as well as paddles and poles. We have an extensive selection of kayaks from a range of manufacturers. This is an ideal opportunity to try something new if you'd like to. If you prefer the familiar, feel free to bring your own kit.
How should I prepare?
You should have kayaked fairly recently but not necessarily in white water. You should be fit enough for an active five days.
