Can I hire them?

On inland waters

A minimum of BCU 2* standard is required for B1 waters. (Training can be arranged if required).

This could include trips on local lakes, rivers and canals as well as in Cumbria, Wales and Scotland.

On the Sea

The rules are much stricter! A Level 3 sea coach qualification is required – events are put on during the year by the Expedition kayak group - see programme

 

                  Equipment hire

To include boat/paddle/spray deck  etc. £5 per day per single kayak and £10 for a double kayak. All equipment is available on a trailer. The hire fees will all go back into maintaining and insuring the kayaks and their equipment
