CANOEING PROGRESSION

Since humans began to live together in groups, the canoe has been an integral part of life for many civilizations. Canoes have spanned from 10,000 year old dugouts carved from trees with animal bone, to the highest tech contemporary canoes made of fibres infused together with high temperature epoxy resin.

Canoeing is a largely tranquil sport mixed with modern equipment and techniques and has a massively diverse appeal. Should you wish to move silently across a lake or estuary, enjoying close contact with mother nature, or bounce down some white water trying to fuel that adrenaline rush when you get to the bottom of some awesome rapids, you’ll have a fantastic time.

The open canoe is surprisingly versatile too. Once you have mastered your craft you’ll be able to enjoy the opportunities it provides including tranquil wilderness travel, family adventures, multi-day expeditions and even heart wrenching white water excitement.


“I’ve always wanted to learn a new skill and have always wanted to try my hand at Canoeing. Our Instructor was rally patient with me when it came to mastering those more technical strokes” James, Chester


This introductory course will give you the basics of handling an open canoe. You will have the chance to develop your boat handling skills both solo as part of a tandem crew. Over the two days you will be able to consolidate your new-found skills whilst you journey on a local canal, river or lake.
