I then arrived nervous about moving water on Sunday, particularly when Josh said where we were going, but again was instantly put at ease over a cup of tea before another day of excellent instruction. Had you told me Saturday morning that I would walk away able to paddle an open canoe with a degree of confidence on moving water I would have laughed at you, the patience, clear demonstrations and encouragement offered by both Josh and Tom enabled that to happen – I am sure you know already, but you have two excellent instructors there and I would not hesitate to recommend you, or book with you again. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BookingCurrent dates: Monday 25th - Tuesday 26th June Saturday 24th - Sunday 25th November Also available on any other date throughout the year for two or more people - please contact us for more details.
