It is aimed at those who have done just a very small amount or sea kayaking or some river kayaking and would like to progress or just have a great holiday.
This means we cover the syllabus of the 5 day course but spend Wednesday and Thursday nights out camping so that you learn the skills associated with paddling a loaded sea kayak & camping from one. We meet at 9.30am on the first day and are finished by 4.30pm on the last day.
It means if the weather is obliging you may get to visit more remote locations.
Usually participants provide their own camping gear but we can provide stoves and tents especially for those who travel by public transport.
Contrary to popular belief the midges on the coast are not a problem most of the time. They only emerge in June and then whenever there is at least slight breeze they disappear. So perhaps one evening in seven are they a nuisance in July & August.
