Learn traditional canoeing techniques with #Tradisrad in Trossachs.

Description

It's important to acknowledge that many individuals may not possess a thorough understanding of traditional open canoeing skills and techniques. However, mastering these skills can greatly enhance your overall canoeing experience and allow for seamless navigation through a variety of terrains. By expanding your skillset beyond the basics of paddling, you'll be equipped with the necessary tools to tackle any obstacles that come your way.


Our location will be in the Trossachs, which is a region abundant in lochs and rivers, making it an ideal spot to advance from paddling to the intricate skill of traditional techniques.


So come on out and join us for #Tradisrad - let's learn together!
