This course is for you if: You have never tried kayaking before, or have had a go and enjoyed it, and would like to start to learn to do it properly.

In warm weather: Basic sports wear e.g. shorts and t shirt. It’s sensible to bring a spare fleece top just in case it gets colder than expected. On hot days don’t forget sun screen, and a sun hat is a good idea.

If it’s cold/rainy: A fleece top and tracksuit type trousers (jeans and hoodies are not ideal, as they hold a lot of water). A warm hat is a good idea for cold days. Waterproofs are useful if you have them.

You must wear footwear - old trainers, sandals, or wet shoes. They must stay on in the water, so flip-flops and crocs are unsuitable.

A towel and a complete change of clothing (and shoes) are required for everyone!

Wetsuits are not essential, but if you have one you can always bring it.

We provide buoyancy aids (compulsory), waterproof tops if needed, and all necessary paddling equipment. Showers and changing facilities are available and there is a take away snack bar.

Extras:

On the children’s courses we often stop for a short break mid-session, so it is worth bringing a snack and/or drink.

If your course lasts all day, then it is sensible to bring an extra change of clothes, just in case you get wet during the morning session.

For river trips, a packed lunch and drink is required.

If you wear glasses or sun-glasses, we suggest you secure them. Neoprene spec-bands are available to buy at the centre if required.
