Programme                                                   

 

If you would like to be involved there are a number of activities on offer. This  year we are widening our activities to include an number of 3 Star training opportunities, both whitewater and sea.

Certain activities on the programme are taster sessions as part of other events. Obviously to become involved you have to be ‘on’ the event. Included in this are

Network Gathering

County Explorer Camp

Moor Crag Open Days

There are no minimum requirements for these events. However to get the most out of them you should have been kayaking before.
