If you're comfortable in a closed cockpit kayak and can paddle straight lines without a rudder, you're ready to join us!
Bring your own kayak, paddle, spraydeck, buoyancy aid, helmet, wetsuit or drywear, and suitable river shoes. Don't worry if you're missing something; equipment hire is available for £25 per day.

Ideally, this course is designed for paddlers ages 18+.
However, junior paddlers aged 16 and over are welcome to join any of our open training courses, provided they have the required skill level.
We may also extend this offer to paddlers aged 14+ in certain circumstances if we know them and they are mature for their age, and this may be decided case by case.
Please just get in touch and we will see what we can do. We may also be able to arrange a bespoke option incorporating younger paddlers if we conclude that it would not be appropriate to join this specific trip.
We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
