Suitable for you? Canoeing is an activity that is suitable for all ages. It provides a mode of transport that is ideal for observing and enjoying nature. Canoeing uses more coordination than strength so there will be no need for you to have anything other than a reasonable level of fitness. There are many skills that will be demonstrated and used throughout an activity/journey, some of which are canoeing skills while others are related to living with nature. A key objective for an activity/journey is to see how comfortable we can be and we shall be exploring skills that contribute to this. It is not necessary for you to have any water skills prior to an activity/journey. However, it is important that you will be able to be comfortable sitting in a canoe for from a few minutes up to an hour and a half at a time, as well as be calm in the event of an involuntary swim. We avoid getting wet as it is unnecessary, but unplanned swims do happen. If you have any doubts about this, you should reconsider the appropriateness of canoeing.
What we provide:
For a group of 8 we provide:

• One experienced BCU qualified coach with qualifications relevant to the type of environment in which you will be canoeing.
• A suitable location relevant to the groups canoeing experience with accompanying risk assessment and emergency procedures.

• Open canoes which can be paddled doubles or solo.
• Buoyancy Aids, Helmets and Paddles for eight.

A guide to what you need to bring: Remember it's easy to cool down, much more difficult to warm up. More advice at the time of booking will be given.

**If you have opted for us to provide food, the cost must be agreed at time of booking.

Groups and Teams

If you are considering canoeing as an activity for team building, etc., then send us a message. In common with many outdoor activities, canoeing can be used to highlight skills useful in teamwork. If you are really forward looking, why not think about a canoeing weekend or expedition in the UK, Sweden or elsewhere. Loosing track of time is just one of the benefits. It will probably cost less than many formal team building courses, be a lot more fun and more memorable.

Enjoyment:
Keeping dry and warm for as long as possible will increase the likelihood of you enjoying canoeing.
