About the Course
Based around Cumbria and Yorkshire, we will explore the best that Northern England has to offer for the grade 2/3 paddler. With rivers like the Lune, Eden, Wharf and Tees available to us, we are sure to have a great time on the water.
We will base this course from Kendal, but each morning will meet in a location central to the intended rivers for that day. After a catch up over a coffee we will head out for a big adventure on the water. The emphasis with this course is learning through adventure, so we'll be aiming for lots of variety and mentored river descents with lots of onus on the participants to become part of the trip planning and river descent team.
What level of paddler is this aimed at?
This course is aimed at paddlers who feel confident paddling on grade 2 with some support and have done the occasional grade 3 rapid, but would like to expand your repertoire of rivers and learn some new skills.
