Kayaking/Canoeing
Canoeing and kayaking are
extremely enjoyable fun sport for all the family. There are many different
types
of kayak
and canoe and many different aspects of the sport to try, ranging
from the sunny afternoon's paddle on flat calm water to the challenge
and thrill of the surf and white water. Anyone contemplating taking
up the sport would be well advised to learn the basics at a reputable
school or club with fully qualified instructors in order that the
safety aspects that need to be adhered to are learnt from the outset.
Beginners
Our beginners kayak and canoe courses are designed to introduce the
newcomer to this enjoyable sport in a safe and fun way. Our courses
are different from most
canoe schools
in the area. We do follow the British Canoe Union syllabus for the 1 2 & 3
Star courses. However, rather than charging a fixed fee per star test (as
is the norm) we offer a five week course during which it is possible to
pass more
than one star test.
The course consists of:
* Four 2 hour sessions on Decoy Lake
* One half day open water trip either coastal, estuary or river, dependant
on ability, weather conditions and preference.
* Maximum of six pupils per course.
On completion of the five week course there will be the opportunaty
to attend other open water trips if required. Cost dependant on size
of groups.
ON ALL OF OUR COURSES ALL EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED
Autumn/Winter Programme
From October onwards we run introduction to white water kayaking courses
at weekends. We also run day trips on flat water on either canel,
river, estuary or coastal, dependant on ability and prevailing
weather conditions. |
