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.
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.
All you 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.
