Youth and adult kayaking sessions run from May to June and from August to September.

Youth Kayaking is on a Thursday night, and adult kayaking is arranged as and when weather and leaders are available.

 

We hope to offer skills sessions and development/progression to cadets and adults this season.

 

Safety Procedures for Paddlesport Trips

Longer trips are organised occasionally. These will be weather-dependent and the route may change accordingly / trip may be cancelled – this is the decision of the designated Club coach / leader. Participation is at the discretion of the coach/ leader.

 

  • The coach / leader will provide participants with a list of kit to bring appropriate to the length and conditions of the planned trip.

  • The coach / leader has final decision on the day regarding paddlers participation (based on ability and conditions), route and if the trip will go ahead.

  • For trips involving people under 18years, the trip leader will leave a list of participant's names, contact numbers, anticipated route and return times with an agreed onshore liaison person (this could be a member of the Club, their family or friend).
