The shortest white water course we do with just enough time to learn a few skills. Great for groups and individuals willing to have a go, this day is the fast-track to white water paddling! The morning will start with a flat-water session to develop your basic paddling skills, to get you ready for the afternoon when we move onto moving and white water. This will introduce to and give you a taste of the power of the river!

On a typical day you will get to learn to manover the kayak in moving water this will include ferry gliding, breaking in, breaking out and how to run grade 2 rapids. This is not just a fantastic day, but you will go away with new skills and memories of a exiciting adrenaline filled day.
Please Note - Young people aged 14 to 17 years must be accompanied by a participating adult. We are unable to offer a reduced rate for Under 18s for any of our White Water activities.

There is no better way of trying out climbing than our half day taster session. Your experienced instructor will get you kitted up, then warm you up with some low level bouldering. This is where you will learn how to move about on the rock, weight transference and how to use your legs more effectively.

Next you will be shown how to belay (control the rope) and then you will be climbing on some of the classic beginner routes in the vale of Llangollen. These routes will allow you to practice what you have learnt while bouldering.

After bouldering we will finish off with some abseiling the classic way to get down the cliffs.

For some, a half day climbing can start a lifetime of pleasure and excitement.

Please Note - the Under 18 rate is for young people aged 14 to 17 years accompanied by a participating adult.

If you wish to bring a child aged 8 to 13 years please call us on 01978 861912 to check availability for your preferred dates.

Four-day BCU Level 1 Coach Course

Want to become a paddlesport coach then this is the course for you. This is the first step into coaching. This is for anybody that is interested in encouraging others into paddlesport.

This course is not discipline specific as a level 1 can deliver sessions in any type of kayak or canoe. As a level 1 coach you can deliver taster sessions and assist higher level coaches.

This course is a 4 day course and is a combined training and assessment.

We can run this course in a variety of formats depending on your requirements:

- we can run it over two weekends

- one 4 day block

- if you are a canoe club we could do 8 evening sessions

- If you have another format you would like let us know.

The minimum age for this course is 16 years.

Pre-Requisites

Flat Water Safety and Rescue Training
New 2 Star or the old 2 Star but in both disciplines of kayak and open canoe

Candidates must hold the following pre-requisites:

* BCU 2 Star Award (either both 'old' style awards in Kayak and Canoe, or the 'new' generic 2 Star)
* Foundation Safety and Rescue Training
* Valid First Aid certificate

Equipment included.

The 4 Star award is a peer- leadership award which will train you to perform competently on grade 2-3 white water and moderate open water and safely lead groups of other competent paddlers on Grade 2-3 and moderate open water.

A 3 Star award is preferred but not essential - if not held paddlers must demonstrate that they are at a competent 3 Star standard.

More info

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 2 days.

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.

Building on the content of the one day course, these two days are totally focused on you being able to pick your own way down a river, as opposed to being pushed by the flow! We love this course - it's paddling at its best. This course is for those who are fairly new to the sport, have held a paddle, floated around and loved it but desperately want to increase the tempo! (or with no experience, good balance, and a will to work hard!).
Please Note - Young people aged 14 to 17 years must be accompanied by a participating adult. We are unable to offer a reduced rate for Under 18s for any of our White Water activities.

This course is the progression from the BCU Level 1 coach course. If you are looking to progress your standard of coaching then this is the course for you.

This course develops the foundations skills that have been taught on the Level 1 course and is a 4 day course.

Pre-Requisites

Before this course you need to have passed the following (which we can provide):

- Level 1 coach award

- BCU UKCC 3 Star in one discipline and 3 star standard in another discipline, we recommend this is in Kayak and Canoe because this is what you will be assessed on.
