Kayaking Taster

Our half day sessions are run on flat water and are designed to be a fun introduction for novices to the sport. What you learn will depend on the group, but by the end of the session you should be able to paddle in a straight line, reverse, turn round, stop and get out in a hurry as well as playing some games and getting a bit wet!

Once kitted out with buoyancy aid, cagoule and wetsuit, and fitted out with kayak and paddle and a quick demo on how easy it is to get out of the boat (or for the nervous how to fall off a sit-on-top kayak) it's on to the water, Thomas Telford's historic Llangollen Canal. Half a mile from the canal's feeder, this is a clean and beautiful stretch, shared only by other canoes and kayaks and an occasional horse-drawn barge! You drift down to a wide section of canal where the fun begins. Once everyone can turn their kayak, and has tried a few confidence builders and games, you are led up to stretch your legs and inspect the famous Serpents Tail and Horseshoe Falls - perhaps something to aim for after a kayaking week! Time-permitting, on the way back to the put-in you may get to do some rafting challenges, or fun wet games. Even better fun for adults than kids, everyone has a good laugh and if it is warm enough getting wet is great fun. 
You must be confident in the water, though not necessarily a swimmer as you wear a buoyancy aid and the water is only 2-4 feet deep.

Explore White Water Kayaking - 2-day courseWhite Water Kayak Solo

If you have ever fancied running the rapids on a river then this is the course for you. We take pride in this course. You will learn a lot, do a lot of kayaking and if you are not superhuman your muscles will be aching for most of the following week! Take it from us, those aching limbs bring back plenty of memories to cheer your working days. Kayaking keeps many office workers sane, though their colleagues may disagree!

We include a lecture, a flat water session to develop your basic paddling skills, and then it is on to the adrenaline-pumping white water for the rest of the weekend.

Moving water skills include breaking in, breaking out, ferry gliding and running small drops. Flat water skills include turning, edging, low brace, high recovery, turning under pressure.

This course is for those who have completed the Intro to Kayaking one-day course, or who have some previous kayaking experience under instruction (or with no experience, good balance, and a will to work hard!).

You must be able to swim at least 25 metres.
