What our clients say...
"Fantastic course aimed at the level of the group. Selection of river grades suitable for each day as the skills of the group improved. Equipment provided perfect for the level of course. I felt like I improved as a paddler and over the course of the week and gained a confidence in running harder graded water." "Good structure, very positive, progressive, variety, insight to what coming (rapid sets). Confidence boosting. Great river variety, sufficient support and challenge." "Good delivery and speed. Pre-course info was perfect – knew exactly what, where and when. Technically there was a lot of useful info personal paddling wise."
